Goals

  • Students will learn different methods of tracing, and how they can turn their traced image into something unexpected.

  • Students will begin to understand that you don’t have to be a skilled artist to be an artist.

In this workshop, a PDF format, students from grade 6 and up (older, too!) will learn different tracing methods and how those can be used to create something unique! This workshop is intended to help individuals, who may feel like they aren’t skilled at drawing, make amazing art! There will be four different methods meeting the needs of those who have access to certain technology, and those who don’t.
