Here are some select student samples from AIB's Tech Opaque Media course taught by Ryan Maguire. Students are asked to complete illustration assignments with Acrylics and Gauche mediums. From portraits to plein air painting students explore how opaque mediums could be used in production for color comps and final illustrations. View the AIB Flickr set for all samples here.

Year of the Dragon Group Show
March 9-April 8. Opening reception Friday, March 9th 6-9pm.
FOE celebrates the first of their second year of art openings with the “Year of the Dragon” group show. Dragons and dragon mythology have inspired artists for over 2000 years. Come out to see works by local and international artists, including AIB's Illustration faculty Ryan Maguire (shown below), as they interpret the legendary, mythical creature. Eastern dragons are characterized as a benevolent force bringing good fortune and prosperity. They adorn temples and are depicted in artwork, literature and film. In the 2012 year of the dragon we should all try to channel our positive power to radiate goodwill and blessings, or at least, look at some cool dragon art. The show will remain up through Sunday, April 8th.
