Specialty classes are for our students that want to hone in on a particular art form. These art forms include graphites, manga animation, and oil painting.
In our graphites class, we recreate still life portraits and other images. Our focus is to make a life like recreations with charcoal pencils. Graphite classes are often focused on shading, blending, light positioning, and proportions.
Manga is the Japanese form of animation, often shortened to anime. Anime is often found in pop culture through shows such as Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, One Piece, and many more. In this class, you learn how to recreate landscapes, portraits, and scenes in the style of manga. If you enjoy anime and want to improve your skill as a manga artist, this is the class for you.
One of the most classic yet challenging styles of art, oil painting focuses on using various color tones and oil to create pieces of art ranging from landscapes, to portraits, to still lifes, and more.
