About this course
In this immersive workshop, students aged 10-12 will learn how professional artists and designers plan, visualise, and create detailed worlds, characters, and futuristic vehicles. Using simple drawing and modelling techniques, they'll develop their skills in a fun, supportive environment, transforming their ideas into vibrant environments and innovative designs.
This course combines art and technology to inspire young artists to imagine and build their own fictional worlds. Through practical exercises, learners will create landscapes, characters, and vehicles, building a personal portfolio of their creative universe that can serve as a stepping stone for further artistic or design pursuits.
