Intro to Art Professions

Ever wondered what to do with your passion for drawing? This camp will help! We will take a peek at the most popular art professions of XXI century. You will learn what it feels like to be: an artist who creates worlds and characters for movies and games, a designer who creates everyday objects that everyone loves, an architect who designs ergonomic buildings, a fine artist who creates powerful messages that resonate with people's minds.  Even though most art is currently made in digital form, digital drawing skills are not required for this course. What is required is your ability to draw fluently from your imagination.
