In this advanced drawing class, students will draw countries from all around the world, while learning about the architecture, history, geography and culture of various locations.

Class experience

In this class, students learn techniques of "urban sketching." Techniques used in the class may include... watercolor, pen and ink, marker, colored pencil, pencil etc... There will be less of an emphasis on technique, and more of a focus on quick documentation and artistic expression. 
Chris Chien is a professional theme park designer who has spent the last 10 years contributing to projects such as Universal Studios, Sesame Street Land, SeaWorld, Kennedy Space Center, Ferrari World and many more. As a professional concept designer and illustrator, he has created designs for many theme parks all around the world!

Chris primarily works in Photoshop, but his background in traditional mediums such as charcoal, watercolor and oil painting help gives his digital art an authentically “hand-painted” look. In addition, Chris often uses 3D software such as SketchUp, Unreal Engine and Planet Coaster to create immersive worlds.

In 2010, Chris graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Bachelors in Industrial Design and a minor in Theater. During his time in college, Chris designed and built many award-winning Carnival Booths, which sparked his interest in themed entertainment. Afterward graduating from Carnegie Mellon, he moved to Los Angeles to study at the prestigious Concept Design Academy, studying under Hollywood’s finest professionals from Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, Lucasfilms, Marvel, and Blizzard.
​ 
Chris’ passion for themed entertainment and storytelling comes from exploring different countries. With his desire to learn and explore, he backpacked around the world, visiting the continents of Europe, Asia and South America - seeing castles, jungles, and temples in their natural context.  Chris’ mission in themed entertainment not just to entertain, but to also provide education and inspiration to people around the globe.
​
Skills:
​• 10 years of concept art and design experience
​• 8 years of professional teaching experience (art classes for children, teens and adults)
• Experienced in theme park design, concept art for games and movies, showset design, fabrication, and scenic painting

Here is a list of suggested materials: 1) Sketchbook 2) Pencil 3) Pen 4) Marker 5) Watercolors For pen, I like to use the Promarx Gel Pens from Doller Tree (they are water resistant and work great with watercolor). For my marker, I suggest to use Jot Dry-Erase marker with a chisel tip - also from Dollar tree. The chisel tip marker makes it easy to get different line weights when drawing.  For watercolors, I use the Sakura Koi 24 Assorted Watercolor Set. However, just about any watercolor set will do.
