Corrado Sassi

Double-edged bronze jian, 28-inch blade. The gentleman's weapon of ancient China. Balanced for both thrust and cut. I carried one, though I preferred to win without drawing it.

Learn to draw precise engineering plans by hand. T-square, compass, protractor, French curves. Before CAD, this is how every machine was designed. I drew every component of the 1903 Flyer by hand, to scale. If you can draw it accurately, you can build it accurately. If you can't draw it, you don't understand it well enough.

Wilbur Wright

🇬🇧

Full-size drafting table with parallel rule, plus a complete set of drawing instruments: compasses, dividers, ruling pens, French curves, triangles. The same setup I used to design the Flyer. Everything fits in a leather roll for transport.

Small group (max 4). I'll teach you how to write a patent application: claims, specifications, drawings. The patent is the inventor's sword and shield. Without it, your idea belongs to whoever copies it first. I learned this the hard way with the movie camera.

Thomas Alva Edison

🇬🇧

I painted full-color storyboards for every scene in my later films -- Kagemusha, Ran, Dreams. They're works of art on their own. You don't need to be a great painter. You need to THINK visually. We work with watercolors and ink. Bring your script and we'll draw your film.

Akira Kurosawa

🇯🇵

I drew my dreams every morning for forty years. Thousands of sketches that became La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2, Amarcord, Juliet of the Spirits. I teach you to keep a visual dream journal -- not writing, DRAWING. Your pen remembers what your brain forgets. Bring colored pencils and a blank notebook.

Federico Fellini

🇮🇹 🇫🇷

Before I was a director, I was a caricaturist in the streets of Rome. I'd draw tourists for money. A caricature captures what a photograph misses -- the ESSENCE of a face. We draw each other, strangers from photos, and characters from imagination. Tip: Exaggerate one feature. That's the person's truth.

Tabletop intaglio press for etching, drypoint, and aquatint. Adjustable pressure, steel rollers. I produced 300 etchings on a press like this. Print editions of your drawings, or learn the process from scratch.

I'll teach you linear perspective, isometric projection, and how to draw machines that could actually be built. Bring a ruler, compass, and pencils. We draw by hand. No CAD. If you can't draw it, you don't understand it.
