Visual Storytelling: Emotion, Figure, and Space
with Nick Austin
Ages: 13 - 18
This six-week painting course explores how narrative can be built through the relationship between figure, environment, and color.
Working in acrylic or oil, students will develop one narrative painting from concept to completion, beginning with brainstorming personal or imagined stories and translating them into visual form through thumbnail sketches and compositional planning.
As the course progresses, students will focus on blocking in figures and spaces, using gesture and body language to clarify meaning, and exploring how color, limited palettes, and atmosphere can communicate emotion.
The final weeks emphasize refinement, symbolism, and visual cohesion, culminating in a group critique centered on storytelling, emotional readability, and narrative impact.
