Learn how to create your own short film. This fun exploration of the art of filmmaking covers the elements of screenwriting, cinematography and editing. You may bring a digital camera for shooting video (optional).

Turn your drawings into fun and engaging images that communicate a mood, a feeling or an idea. Explore drawing and image making through short- and long-term projects; experiment with different problem-solving methods; and work with media ranging from crayons and pencils to watercolors and acrylics.

Discover the power and expressiveness of black-and-white photography and see how a composition without color can help the viewer focus on other parts of an image-aspects like subject, texture, shapes and expression. We will discuss fundamental concepts of photography, such as lighting and composition, and work on fun projects covering different photography genres, including portraiture, nature, still-life, abstraction and landscape. You are free to use any digital capture system (e.g. cameras, iPods, smartphones, tablets) you'd like for the photo shoots we do during class. At the end of the class, each student will take home a personal digital gallery of their images.

Product designers invent and design the things you buy: watches, bicycles, shoes and even toothbrushes. Learn how to come up with original ideas, create real products and then bring them to life. You'll learn industrial drawing techniques, concept development and visualization skills.

Drawing the human figure is important training for all artists. Learn about form, proportion, shape, composition, the human skeleton and simplification. To inspire your drawing, we will study art created by everybody from the Old Masters to contemporary artists.

Investigate personal and shared space, especially in relation to yourself and your friends. Use cardboard, glue and paint to construct one project that reflects your world from three different perspectives: the near (things we touch), the middle (the spaces that hold us) and the far (the settings we live in).

Discover drawing, painting, sculpture and everything in between. Learn essential foundation skills of visual art and design and then apply them through the process of making. Students will use construction, drawing and painting to create unique 2D and 3D multimedia works.

Create exciting car designs using a variety of sketching, illustration and presentation techniques. Learn how to develop and visually communicate your ideas.

Explore drawing fundamentals; become familiar with techniques in graphite, charcoal, Conté crayons, pastel and ink; and develop your understanding of line, shape, proportion, value and composition through technical exercises and abstract thinking.

Take your interest in fashion to a different level. Have fun while learning how to draw fashion croquis (elongated quick sketches), creating 3D projects like paper dresses, and exploring accessory design. Learn basic fashion vocabulary and how to present your work.

Using a variety of mediums, construct wearable works of art that explore the history of wearable art, the overlap of fashion and art, and the relationship between who we are and what we wear, all culminating in a fashion show.
