(SPOT.ph) Your older relatives from STEM and ABM won't believe this, but over the past couple of years, gaming and the arts have seen a significant boom in sustainable jobs and career paths among young adults. Two words: content creation. One of the few upsides to social media and the Internet, gaming and the arts have become more than just a hobby and an escape for people around the world, so why not stoke your interest in both with an art school inspired by popular video games?
Riot Games, the company behind the development of online games such as League of Legends and VALORANT (as well as the Netflix series Arcane, on the entertainment side), is gearing up its launch in the Philippines with an art school inspired by their popular mobile game League of Legends: Wild Rift. With classes open from July 29 to 31, the school now has slots open for reservation, and they're free!

Here's what we know about the League of Legends Wild Rift-inspired Star Guardian Art School in San Juan City:
From July 29 to 31, you can partake in classes from Riot Games' Star Guardian Art School, being held at the Moon Rabbit Café in San Juan City.
At the school, fans of League of Legends, or even those simply just looking to practice their skill for creating art and designing with printed graphics, can make tote bags and also partake in hydro-dipping classes.
You can patch the tote bags with League of Legends character designs and create your own pins to attach to the bag. Meanwhile, for hydro-dipping classes, you'll be taught how to apply two-dimensional, printed characters onto the surfaces of three-dimensional, lifestyle items.
For "recess," the cafe will also serve drinks themed around the game during this period.
You can reserve slots here. One slot lasts for an hour and thirty minutes, so it shouldn't even take up the length of your afternoon. As of July 28, hydro-dipping classes are out of slots, but slots could open up once again should anyone cancel their reservation.
Valid ID and vaccination cards will be requested upon entry. Participants aged 10 to 17 are allowed, provided that they are accompanied by an adult or come with a waiver signed by their guardian.
The art school marks the start of Riot Games' launch in the Philippines, as the company previously announced that they'll be setting up a base of operations here in the country, in order to hit closer to home with the many, passionate fans of League of Legends and VALORANT in the Philippines. Pretty soon, we can expect to see even more than just a Filipino character in VALORANT.
If you're wondering what a "Star Guardian" is, that would be what the in-game characters from League of Legends are referred to, particularly the ones that appear as anime-like high school girls. Riot Games describes them as, "these magical girls wield pens by day and epic weapons by night; transforming into cosmic protectors who defend the galaxy from evil forces."
