New Art-’Star Wars art (and beyond)’ at Chabot College Kids on Campus 2011
I will be teaching again this Summer at Chabot College in Hayward CA for the Kids on Campus summer program.
Cartooning: Star Wars Art (and beyond)
This class helps you to create your own Space characters by learning to first draw characters from the Star Wars universe. The class will teach skills like constructing figures with 3D shapes, facial expressions, costumes, action poses, and how to take the knowledge and use it to create characters that are all your own.”
Kids on Campus – Summer Camp 2011
Weeks of June 20-24 and June 27-July 1

New Art! Jetpack Robot watercolor

A quick and dirty painting of a robot with a jet-pack on. I like how the figure has a softer quality then the stereotypical rigid robot. Mine seems like it made of plastic or a clay figure from the cast of Gumby.

New Art! The Future? watercolor
This painting was created in one of the classes I teach. I gave the theme…The Future to try to stimulate some new ideas from the students. I was trying really hard to just go wild and create something with a lot of color and a lot of silliness to it.
I must admit this is sometimes hard for me since I had a lot of experiences in college where people tried to read meaning into the imagery when none was there or I had unknowingly drawn something that seem symbolic to the viewer. If it happens enough time you start worrying that folks will misinterpret something in your art, especially something as unnecessarily adult and then you start to censor your work more then you should.
The truth is that we all interpret art in different ways and see different things, but that does not make what you or I see some planned or subconscious hidden meaning. Interestingly though how we individually interpret art can reveal more about ourselves at times.
Enjoy the painting.

Here are some drawings from last year while teaching that I just got around to scanning in, and posting. Probably done when I was planning my fantasy creature art class that I did last year.
