This course is for those who are new to narrative art and for those who have taken this class previously; with the aim to discover or deepen your artistic voice and vision through narrative picture making!

We explore ideas rooted in our own unique voice, and turn our conceptual visions into visual stories. There will be self exploration as well as the mechanics of picture making, from story to formal elements, composition, visual hierarchy, color strategies, and mood through the creations of your own works.

This class is intended to help you find more of your own artistic voice to strengthen your personal art works.

Drawing & Painting: open to pencil, colored pencil, charcoal, pastel, acrylic, oil (note that if you are using black and white media some topics discussed will be about color).

  • Supplies for Ideation:
  • (I will provide worksheets to hone in on your vision)
  • Sketchbook
  • HB/ #2 pencil
  • Pen if you wish
  • Kneaded eraser
  • White plastic eraser
  • Blending stump
  • Sharpener
  • Optional: *any other items/mediums you may wish to use to compile ideas in your sketchbook (i.e. watercolor pencils, colored pencils, watercolor, magazines for images, etc.)
  • Supplies for working out compositions:
  • I use my laptop and photoshop to compose paintings, by taking photos and creating various layers in photoshop to create compositions. I will teach you this method, however, I will teach you other methods as well, you don’t necessarily need to have this digital component. You can work everything out in sketches or even more intuitively as you work. Our goal is going to be to find what method of picture making will work best for your own personality and the style of work you hope to create.
  • Supplies for Creation:
  • (What medium will best convey your voice? We will work to discover if that might be drawing, painting, collage, etc. and hone in on what medium should be used to best communicate your message.)
  • *Medium of your choice
