Three artists sit down with bright white Converse All Star High Tops, a slug of Sharpie markers and good conversation.

The Nevada Museum of Art offered a class titled “Designing for the Entertainment Industry” which is an eight week course introducing the skills to create concept art. Todd White, the instructor, is a local artist with experience in car design, product design, theme park design, game design, storyboard, architectural rendering….and has clients such a Disney. He is a graduate of Art Center College of Design , Pasadena, CA. This was an opportunity not to be missed.
The first assignment is to create silhouettes with a large black marker as quickly and and many as we can. Select three of these silhouetttes to expand their character.

Converse All Stars are fun, but Vans and Baby Koalas make great blank starts too!!
