Composition Workshop with Marshall Vandruff - May 29, 30, 31.

Marshall is one of the best instructor I have ever taken composition class with. If you are interested on how to compose your image that works at a gut level, Marshall's workshop is not to be missed as he breaks down the visual language that we feel through imagery.

Strongly recommended. Sign up soon as spots are limited~!!

2nd Environment Design class is full

Due to the popular demand for our first Environment Design class, we have arranged a second class taught by Cecil Kim and Jung Ho Park.

The enrollment priority was given to the waiting list students from the first class. As the result, the class have been quickly filled by the waiting list students.

In case you are interested, we are starting to take on a fresh waiting list in case there are any cancellations. If you are interested, just give us an e-mail if you wish to be on the list.

Thanks!!
