About the Program: At the MAC, our hands-on art workshops are designed to ignite creativity and help participants develop new artistic skills. Led by professional artists, each workshop caters to both beginners and experienced artists alike. Discover your creative potential and craft something uniquely your own.
Come learn the basics of how to draw an anime-styled portrait while also exploring ideology behind what makes anime "anime". Not only will you go over how to replicate the stylistic traits often found in anime - think big eyes and gravity-defying hair - but you'll discover the reasons behind these choices through the lens of cartooning as a whole. All supplies will be provided and feel free to enjoy a glass of wine or water while you create.
