HomeAndrew Young – Anyone Can Paint! Basic Painting Skills Workshop

Andrew Young (he/they) is a Taiwanese-Indonesian-American puppeteer, artist, and educator based in Minneapolis. They received their puppeteer training through Monkeybear’s Harmolodic workshop, a Black, Native, and POC focused puppetry organization, and has since worked for Mayday and Barebones as a staff artist/performer, as well as continued to create their own work. They have also been a guest artist for Parade the Circle in Cleveland, OH, and at the Madeline Island Independence Day Parade.

This workshop will teach students the basics of drawing, exploring different ways of mark-making, various tools (pencil, pen, ink, marker), and some light art history showing different styles. The basics of shading, perspective, proportion, and edges will be covered, as well as different types of drawing subjects such as landscape, still-life, and figure, as well as drawing from the imagination. We will also explore painting, using watercolors and acrylics to expand into colors building off of the basic drawing skills.
