Saturdays: June 7, 14, 21; 9:30–10:30am CT
In this virtual workshop, we’ll dive into some cool tools—both digital and on paper—to create tessellations, anaglyphs, patterns, and origami templates.
We’ll also check out inspiring artists and ideas to prompt your creativity, and explore how to blend digital tools into your artwork. Whether you’re a printmaker, illustrator, or you just love making art, this is your chance to experiment and have fun with new techniques!
Level: Beginner. Basic computer skills and the ability to run design software (8GB of ram and free space on your hard drive) is required. If you already have Adobe Creative Suite or Affinity Suite, those will be helpful! If you don’t have design software yet, but your computer meets the criteria above, Camilo will introduce and share how to access many types of design software during the workshop.
Certificate: 3 hours, Category B or D
