Kevin Coffey, Instructor
Kevin is a new instructor with Acorn Arts. His background is in illustration, animation, and design. A few of his clients include George Lucas, Cartoon Network, Disney, Comcast, Tim Burton, Hasbro, Hanna-Barbara, Bette Midler, The Boston Red Sox, the Los Angeles Angels and many others. Kevin currently has more than 20 children's books he's illustrated on Amazon. He has designed this class specifically for Acorn Arts, to help calligraphers understand the basics of drawings.
The intention of this beginner's class will be using photographs as an underlying reference to “see as an artist” the basic simple shapes that make up all objects.
We will practice using, seeing, drawing and coloring these shapes to create illustrations with the ultimate goal of the student leaving the class with a basic understanding of how to create your OWN illustrations using photographs, or nature- or your own imagination- as reference.
We will create 6 illustrations that are designed to be of special use to calligraphers and can be put to practical use in designs created by calligraphers.
