DIGITAL ILLUSTRATION: STORY CREATION ONLINE
Express Yourself Through Digital Storytelling!
Students will be introduced the world of Digital Illustration through color theory, character design, and more! In this Story Creation course, students will create their own digital character, develop a storyline, and illustrate a short story using Adobe Photoshop (or Krita) through live tutorials, guided lessons, and practice both during and after class time.
Note: This class is open to very beginners and is also a great next step for students of our Digital Illustration: Character Creation course.
New STEAM Curriculum: Students will explore the artistic process with a STEAM approach and seek creative solutions alongside other students their age. Through guided projects and peer feedback, students will have the opportunity to interact with other artists and share their interests in all things digital illustration!
