Course Content

This course introduces students to the world of digital creativity through hands-on projects that combine art, design, and visual storytelling. Students will explore image editing, digital collage, illustration techniques, creative composition, and visual communication while developing their artistic confidence and problem-solving skills. Through engaging projects, students will learn how to express ideas, tell stories visually, and create original digital artwork in a supportive and creative environment. No prior experience is required.

Required Materials

A sketchbook with at least 25 pages would be helpful but a folder with some plain printer paper would be an acceptable alternative.

Students are welcome to bring their own laptop, but one will be provided during class time.Ā  Students will need access to the internet in case they need work on their web-based projects between classes.

Time Required Outside of Class and Transcriptable Time

Amount of time will depend on your student’s speed/skill with the content of the week and how much they are able to finish during class time.Ā  Courses like this are prone to students spending time on their work outside of class even if not required simply because they enjoy it!

Parent Considerations & Grading Art
Students who struggle to stay on-task while working online may not be a good fit for this course.
