In this class, students will learn how to use sneaker design as a medium for storytelling. Students will become familiar with basic sneaker structure and composition. Students will also learn about different types of textiles, as well as color theory—and how they both play a role in evoking emotions in the visual telling. Students will create mood boards for some of their favorite folk stories. Students will also learn the works of past and current sneaker artists and the stories behind their iconic designs. As well as get a chance to make paper 
 replicas of their favorite pairs. 
Students will also engage in creative writing, problem-solving, and kinesthetic learning. Students will also become more aware of their sensory by engaging with different types of textures and materials. 
At the end of the course, students will customize their own pair of sneakers drawing inspiration from their own personal stories. Students will end the class with a "Sneaker Art Gala" where students will invite friends and family to see their beautiful creations and learn about the stories that inspired them.
