Figure Drawing with Jared Caruso
with Jared Caruso
An approachable drawing class focused on movement, structure, and building a figure step by step.
- Gesture: Start with quick poses (30 sec–5 min) to capture movement, balance, and line of action
- Structure: Use simple shapes to understand proportion, depth, and form in space
- Anatomy: Layer in basic anatomy to support and ground the figureLight & Shadow: Add value to define form and bring the drawing together
This approach helps you understand how the figure works, so you can draw both from observation and imagination.
- This is a 4 week multi session class
- Materials
- compressed charcoal
- charcoal pencils
- 6 lb Newsprint pads 50 sht 24x 36”
- kneaded erasers
- Sketchbook
Slingin' Paint - Landscapes in Acrylic
with Moriah Gallagher
Spend time painting landscapes with Moriah in this acrylic class designed to be approachable and hands-on.
You’ll learn how to break a scene into simple shapes, work with color, and build a painting layer by layer. Whether you’re new or have some experience, the class is set up to help you understand the process while giving you space to make it your own.
Expect a relaxed environment, clear guidance, and a finished piece to take home.
Slingin' Paint - Exploring Acrylics
with Moriah Gallagher
Negative space painting is about seeing what’s not there.
Instead of painting the object itself, we focus on the shapes around it—the spaces that define it. It shifts how you see, how you simplify, and how you build a composition.
In this acrylic class with Moriah, we’ll use negative space as a tool to slow down, observe more closely, and create bold, intentional paintings. This approach helps take the pressure off “getting it right” and opens up a more intuitive way of working.
Fan as Canvas - Watercolor Workshop
with Moriah Gallagher
In this class, you’ll paint your own fan while getting a feel for how watercolor works on a surface that isn’t flat.
The folds, the material, and the movement all change how the paint behaves—so part of the process is learning to work with that instead of trying to control it. You’ll try different approaches, build your design as you go, and see how it develops.
It’s hands-on, a little experimental, and open to all levels.
Fundamentals of 2D Animation
with Jared Caruso
Learn the fundamentals of cartoon drawing and animation in a fun, hands-on way.
4 weeks of Instruction for an Introductory rate!
- Character Construction: Start by learning how to build cartoon characters using classic Preston Blair methods—focusing on shape, proportion, and expression
- How Animation Works: Introduction to persistence of vision and the basic principles behind how animation creates movement
- Bouncing Ball: Create your first animation while learning arcs, spacing, and timing through a simple, approachable exercise
- Pendulum Study: Build on those concepts by refining movement, rhythm, and consistency
- Turning Head: Apply arcs, timing, and spacing to character movement, bringing more life and structure to your drawings
- Ball Throw: Combine previous skills to animate a full action—connecting body movement, timing, and flow
By the end of the class, you’ll understand how movement works in animation and have created your own animated clips.
Materials Students will receive a:
- Light table
- Animation pegbar
- Ream of 8.5 x 11 copy paper
- Blue colorerses pencils
Slingin' Paint - Lightening Globe
with Moriah Gallagher
This class focuses on letting the paint move and guide the process. You’ll build layers, follow the marks, and learn to step back from control—allowing the image to emerge rather than forcing it.
