Mornings are more structured and focused on standard skill building that will lead to a final project within the week as led by college professor, cartoonist and illustrator Mark Simmons*** (UltimateMark.com) Afternoons are more focused on group work and art-game-style skill building in approach to allow students to challenge themselves with guidance and support from our regular instructors, cartoonist and illustrators Brian Kolm (briankolm.com), or Gladys Ochoa*** Full Days ensure that students get the best of both worlds between structure and open exploration, from 9am to 5pm includes a 1 hour supervised recess and lunchtime from 12:30pm to 1:30pm in Ghirardelli Square and/or Aquatic Park across from the museum.
