The Art of Storytelling with Illustrator Mark Levine
$220/ 7 week session
Age Level: Tween-Young adult (ages 10-18 or older)
In this weekly two hour class, students will work towards drawing and illustration goals, working to create their own story line with characters that they have created. The Art-of-Storytelling will give each student the opportunity to explore their own concepts, stories, characters, in a sequential layout used in comic book and graphic novels. The course however is not limited to storyboarding for comic books. The teacher will present his techniques and methodology to the class as a whole as they can be applied to produce comic strips, cell animation, storyboards for a video game, or online graphics.
It is important to note that each student will be given one on one direction and support by me in each class. The teacher will encourage each student to work on their own level as far as talent, abilities, interest, and subject matter. The teacher will direct each student to work on individual goals, stay on task and learn a new skill set. Some students will complete a three page story while others
might complete a couple of stories that are 3-5 pages. The teacher does not give students homework due to the heavy load of homework already given by their teachers-but optional assignments based on developing their unique skill set, using whatever artistic media they may have at home.
Besides tapping into each student's drawing and painting abilities as it applies to illustrating, the instructor will teach layout and design, printing techniques, calligraphy, masthead-title page design and art direction.
Lastly, the instructor will encourage a “team” atmosphere that reflects on art studio bullpens that produce artwork for the comic book industry. We will accomplish this by sharing ideas, sketching together, and discussing a broad range of subjects.

MEMORY for DRAWINGS with Illustrator, Mark Levine
$220/ 7 week session
Age Level: Young adult- Adult (ages 13- adult)
This drawing class will be based on a students ability to recall something they would like to draw. (Depending on the student, this can be multiple drawings.) Using their memory only as a reference, as opposed to any image support from printouts, photos, or digital references. Tapping into one’s memory of something will strengthen a students overall abilities as an artist to trust their instincts rather than visual aids. In addition, creating artwork that relies on a students “remembering details”, will add to their personal data reference to how, for instance-render bark on a tree. Details like color, accuracy as far as perspective, and overall composition will challenge each student to create a final completed drawing. Students can select compositions for a still life, a landscape, or a portrait of a favorite pet. Mediums covered in the class: ball point pen, graphite(various pencils), charcoal, pastels, and china markers. Each student will work at their own pace, select the mediums they would like to explore, and of course choose their subject matter.

Exit procedures:
Class times are now staggered so that fewer people will be entering/exiting at one time. At exit time, only one child/parent group will leave the space at a time. You will need to sanitize again on your way out.
No wandering through the studio.Students must remain at their table throughout the duration of the 90 minute class. If they need to use the bathroom during class, they will be escorted into the office by our secretary, who will sanitize the bathroom immediately after.
Supplies: Many students have expressed that they are happy to bring their own. While that is a great idea, we use many different and varying supplies each week in our elementary arts classes, as a major goal is introducing students to a wide variety of materials. With that in mind, having students bring their own supplies would force families to have to purchase a huge and expensive list of supplies. To keep things simple, we will continue to provide all supplies for classes. We have implemented a "caddy system." Each table will have a personal caddy filled with the week's supplies. This caddy and it's contents will be sanitized thoroughly before and after each class.
Cleaning Logs:
We are now required by New York State to keep daily cleaning logs. During your classes, you will see supplies and areas continually being cleaned down to ensure the most sanitary environment possible for our students.
Feeling sick? Please stay home for the week and take advantage of our very flexible make up policy. If we suspect that you or your your student may be experiencing any signs of sickness, we will kindly ask you to leave our space (even if your temperature reads as normal.) Please understand that we must be vigilant in these unusual circumstances.
Ring System/ Locked Doors
During our class times, our doors will remain locked. Outside people will not be permitted to enter our space for any reason. All registration will occur online to reduce the number of people in our office at a time. We will be offering virtual tours only and all communication will be done virtually or over the phone.
