WINTER 2025

Day: Wednesday

January 15th - April 2nd

3:30 pm - 4:45 pm

Age: 8- 15 years old

In this class you’ll learn how to use procreate on the iPad. Through this 3 month workshop you’ll learn to create digital illustrations in a way that feels intuitive and natural. This class will cover the function of all tools, including hidden tools and gestures which make creating digital work both easier and fun. Plus you’ll learn how to make and share time lapse videos of your art.

Through a fun focus on fantasy themes we’ll have a focus on creature and character design which will teach you about foundations of illustrating anatomy, as well as fun digital skills such as photo bashing and digital image editing.

Students will animate their own characters performing an action (walking, jumping, running, throwing/kicking an object, etc…), as well as performing some others actions to help tell their story.

All levels welcome. Students are welcome to take this class several times and keep improving their animation skills.

✨A creature design through photo bashing
