Art teacher needed
The teacher who was going to lead this class dropped out. The class is next week, so if you’re interested, get in touch with Mary Cummings at 952-563-8569 or Kathleen Corley at 952-563-8745 or e-mail Kathleen at kcorley [at] bloomingtonartcenter [dot] com
Drawing Fantasy & Sci-Fi
If you are into fantasy (Eragon, Twilight, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc.) and you are interested in learning how to draw these figures, this is the class for you! Using a variety of techniques and materials, we will work from pictures, models and, most importantly, your imagination. Join us for this fantastical art experience. Grades 7 – 9 August 3 – 7 (M – F). (Kids arrive via bus about 9:50 a.m.; teacher should be in classroom setting up by 9:30 a.m., and expect to stay until around 12:15, until kids leave) (Pay: $375 for the week).
NOTE TO POTENTIAL INSTRUCTORS: This class description allows for your interpretation and has considerable flexibility. We anticipate kids will be familiar with graphic novels and manga/animae, but will want help with drawing styles and storydevelopment/storyboarding.
