Introduction to Digital Art
Camp Week 3 | Available
In this class, you will be introduced to how digital programs can be used as tools for drawing,
painting, making cartoons and comics, and mixed media use. Students will learn and
experiment with these programs in class by creating drawings and collages, and by editing
photos. Clip Studio Paint and Procreate will be the primary programs taught in this class, but
lessons can be quickly adjusted and adapted to other similar programs such as Autodesk
Sketchbook, Krita, and Adobe Photoshop. Tablets, computers with touchscreen, or drawing
tablets are required and are not provided by West Hartford Art League. This class is appropriate for ages 13+.
