In this class, students will review every stage of the illustration process, from brainstorming and sketching initial ideas to group critiques and finished artwork.
Come practice your illustration skills and leave with new inspiration and approaches to creating imagery from text!
Session 1: Read and brainstorm from text, workshop sketchbook images
