An exciting educational collaboration brings a free online Auto Design and Sketching course to audiences across Canada and the United States. Launching soon, this initiative pairs the Petersen Automotive Museum with Yellowbrick, an IT company, to offer accessible instruction in automotive design at no cost. The course has already kicked off this week, inviting enthusiasts to learn from some of the world’s top car designers.
Over time, the program will roll out three consistent modules: Design Principles and History, Famous Case Studies, and the hands-on drawing course titled Lets Draw. Esteemed instructors include Franz von Holzhausen, Chief Designer at Tesla Motors; Ralph Giles, Design Director at Stellantis; Christine Fayell, former Chrysler CEO; Francesc Arenas, Design Director at Hispano Suiza; Roman Inges, lecturer at the Art Center College of Design; and several other leading names. The schedule and lineup offer Canadian and American learners a rare chance to study industry practices from multiple perspectives.
To participate, prospective students should register at Yellowbrick.com/autodesign, await an email with their login credentials, and then begin at a self-paced cadence that fits their schedule.

In a separate note, the program emphasizes the importance of community support. The message underscores that public order and essential services rely on collaborative funding, including the provision of tires for police and emergency vehicles. Contributions can be made to the campaign page to assist in supplying tires for critical fleets, ambulances, humanitarian aid convoys, and other operational equipment used in the region. The initiative reflects a broader commitment to mobility and safety for those serving the public good.
