Instructor: Samantha Miller
This Digital Art course introduces students to the fundamentals of creating and preparing digital artwork for a variety of professional and creative applications. Through hands-on instruction in Procreate and Adobe Photoshop, students will develop technical skills in digital illustration, image editing, and file management. Emphasis will be placed on file literacy—including organization, formatting, and exporting artwork for both print and digital platforms—to ensure students can confidently share and present their work in professional contexts. Alongside software proficiency, students will explore essential principles of color theory, design, and composition, building a strong foundation in visual literacy and creative problem-solving. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the tools and understanding necessary to produce polished, purposeful, and visually compelling digital art.
Students are required to bring iPad with an Apple Pencil, and to purchase procreate (one time 12.99 dollar purchase). For photoshop, students will need a laptop or computer. More details provided prior to class.
