Raining Cats N Dogs, 629 W Grand Ave, Escondido, CA 92025From Page to Space: Drawing & Design for Storytelling
Guided by an instructor who works as both a visual artist and theater educator, this workshop uses drawing as a pathway to observation, imagination, and storytelling. The curriculum begins with core skills such as line work, value and shading, composition, and careful looking, then progresses into design principles. Through practical exercises and group discussion, participants explore how artists and set designers convey atmosphere, character, and a sense of place. The experience concludes with a personal final project, with the option to develop a short series of drawings or a simple set or design concept inspired by a chosen story or theme. Held at the CCAE CH Art Studio over eight weeks. Capacity is 20 students. The fee is $225 for the full workshop. The instructor’s background includes exhibiting at the Día de los Muertos Festival and teaching set design at CCAE.
