Early bird discount: Enroll by December 10 to save 10% with code EARLYBIRDCE*

RISD Continuing Education is adding to its lineup with four new courses to meet the needs of aspiring and working artists and designers. When you enroll for winter courses by December 10, you can save 10% on a new course or a returning favorite.

People and Places: The Art of Portrait Photography

Learn to compose engaging shots, work with natural and artificial lighting, build rapport with subjects, and use unique locations effectively.

Geometry in Nature

Dive into the world of patterns, shapes and structures in plants, animals and ecosystems. For artists and nature enthusiasts alike.

Drawing and Rendering for Object Design

Explore various media, substrates and techniques for rendering and drawing commercial products. You’ll be able to render and sketch into your product design projects and to communicate visually with clients, vendors and other designers.

Working with the Figure Expressively

Push the boundaries of traditional figure drawing. Instead of focusing on exact anatomy, you’ll capture movement, emotion and energy using charcoal, pastel or ink—and even some collage and painting.

Winter courses begin January 13, 2025.

If you’re looking for more options, check out our full catalog of courses. Courses fill quickly, so don’t wait to enroll!
