Fashion Illustration for Tweens - Starts Mon. Jan. 16, 2023
In this fun online 8 week program for ages 8-13, tween fashionistas will have a blast learning to draw fashion poses and design outfits and accessories on paper. We'll learn techniques for drawing faces, figures, hands, clothing and accessories. While the core of the course is focused on drawing skills, we'll also be introduced to Canadian fashion designers and get a peek into what it's like to have a career in fashion and/or illustration.
There will be guest speakers from the industry (on zoom) who will answer questions, offer insights and give us a look at their creative world - their studio and new designs in progress. For young people interested in style, fashion and drawing, this program will open creative doors and possible career paths.
