TEEN WORKSHOP - Portfolio Building Bootcamp: Serious Skills

Ready to take your artistic skills to the next level? Whether you're building a portfolio for college, sharpening your drawing and shading techniques, or looking to bring your imaginative creations to life, this 5-day intensive workshop is your chance to level up!

On Day 1, dive in with a lecture and demo on how to approach a still life/cast drawing in graphite. Then, roll up your sleeves as we start sketching and perfecting our work. Day 2 will focus on deepening shading techniques and developing your drawings further.

By Day 3, we’ll shift gears and head to the figure room to draw live, clothed portrait models. Watch a demo by Shea and learn how to think differently about figure drawing versus still life. 

On Day 4, it's your turn to take the lead! You'll begin your own portrait drawing using charcoal the techniques you've learned, with guidance and feedback along the way.

Finally, Day 5 is all about finishing strong—students will refine their portrait drawings, adding the final touches to create dynamic, realistic works of art they can be proud of.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away with two polished drawings and a wealth of new skills to show off in your portfolio or personal projects!
