YOUTH FASHION SKETCHING
(Mon-Fri) June 9-13, 2008. 9am-4pm


Interested in fashions and drawing? Join other young fashion enthusiasts interested in developing the techniques necessary to draw garments and figures with style and detail. Learn the mediums of graphite pencil, pen, marker, chalk pastel, and how to mix mediums for your own signature style.

This is not a clothing design class. We are neither making nor designing garments. This is an art class where we are learning how to draw and paint via the fabulous, colorful, and wildly creative world of fashion! Men are a huge force in the fashion world, please urge creative young males to join up.
