Character Design + World Building (Ages 12 – 14)
Youth After School | Registration opens 11/5/2025 9:00 AM EST
Look at what it takes to build rich and interesting worlds that are worth getting lost in. You'll use creative writing tools to develop characters with complete backstories and interesting goals. This is a great class for those who like to imagine far-away places, whether fantasy, science fiction or based on reality.
Accessibility notes: In youth art classes, many artmaking processes involve (age-appropriate) fine motor skills, physical strength, vision, and ability to sit or stand for extended periods of time. VisArts values making classes accessible to everyone, and is always happy to work with students to make accommodations when possible. Please reach out to info@visarts.org with specific questions related to accessibility or accommodations.
Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.

I'm Avery Nguyen! I am a freelance illustrator and digital artist who has a strong love of fantasy and world building! I spend almost all of my free time working on my own fantasy world, which includes writing stories, designing characters, making maps, and even making my own fantasy languages. At Vis Arts, I am going to be teaching my students how to craft their own original worlds and stories, as well as how to bring them to life through writing, comics, and animation.
