Overview
Design your own character, roll the dice, and draw your own adventure in this guided art course!
Students must make their way through a mystical land of magic to break an ancient curse. Adventurers will be guided through an interactive experience in which their drawn characters will explore, discover secrets, encounter battles with magical creatures, and save the realm!
Each student will roll the dice to determine how well their character does in their encounter. They will also get to solve fun little puzzles to make it to the end.
In-class use of Drawing Tablet, Stylus, and all other class materials are included.
Students are recommended to have a basic understanding of photoshop or procreate, but not required. Students are welcome to bring an original character design ready for adventure, or new characters will be created on the first day of class!

Sadie is a part of the Masters of Arts in Teaching program at George Mason University and has worked with the Mason Community Arts Academy both administratively and as a substitute teacher. She began formally teaching in 2020, teaching filmmaking for four consecutive summers at Light House Studio. Sadie has a background in design, digital illustration, and animation, having worked for event companies and as a freelance contract artist for other organizations, filmmakers, engineers, doctors, and environmentalists. Her love of art and science was shaped by her undergraduate degree from VCUarts, her high school environmental sciences academy, and her pre-college programs involving STEM. Drawing is what let Sadie tell short, funny sci-fi and fantasy stories as a kid before she could spell, so watching kids learn to tell their own story and express their own passions fills Sadie with joy.
