Art & Design · 90-minute classes

Traditional or digital. Both built around real creative skill.

Art & Design now has two clear pathways. Traditional Art & Design develops drawing, characters, anime, manga and comic art. Digital Art & AI Design develops digital illustration, game art and responsible use of AI as a creative tool.

Age range varies by class. We confirm the best fit based on the student’s age, experience and chosen pathway.

Drawing fundamentals with room for characters, anime, manga and comics.

This pathway combines the strongest parts of our former drawing and anime/comic programs into one broader traditional-art curriculum. Students can build fundamentals without being locked into a single style.

Drawing control

Use construction, proportion, line and value to make drawings clearer and more consistent.

Character design

Create original silhouettes, facial features, clothing, props and personality.

Anime, manga & comics

Explore stylized proportion, expressive poses, line work and panel storytelling without copying copyrighted characters.

Finished traditional work

Move selected ideas through sketch, revision, colour and presentation.

AI is a tool. The student remains the creator.

Students learn a repeatable digital-art workflow for illustration, character design, props, environments and game-art concepts. AI can support ideation and iteration, but creative direction, judgement and final decisions stay with the student.

Digital illustration

Organize layers, refine sketches, make selections and clean up artwork without losing the original idea.

Character & game art

Design characters, props and environments using shape language, function and visual consistency.

Creative AI workflow

Use AI responsibly for references, variations and ideation while learning to evaluate, edit and transform outputs rather than accepting them passively.

Creator mindset

Build the judgement to decide what to keep, what to change and how to make a final piece feel genuinely intentional.
