Dreamscape Terraforming: Landscapes and Backgrounds
The setting of a story is just as important as the characters we place in it! OSGEMEOS sees their artwork as a portal to Tritrez, a mystical universe of peace and harmony that they created. During this workshop, teens will learn worldbuilding skills and the importance of daily observation to creation.

Character Design 2 – A Study in Style
OSGEMEOS is well known for their signature stylization of figures in their work. In our last session, we learned the basics of figure drawing with Gallery Gestures and Sculpture Studies. Now, it’s time to bring our characters to life by adding our own individual styles! Join us for our second session on Character Design, where we’ll learn the importance of silhouette, squash and stretch, and stylization.

With guidance from visual artist Ramon Cardenas, teen artists will design their own stencils, and then transform negative space to create their own patterned works. Open to teen artists of all skill levels.
