Digital Art & Illustration

The kids drawing characters in the margins of their notebooks? This is their class. Digital Art & Illustration teaches students how to take the drawing they already love and bring it into digital tools — where they can sketch, color, layer, and polish work the way professional illustrators do.

Over the fall, classes cover the fundamentals that make digital art click: working in layers, choosing color palettes, character design, and turning rough sketches into finished illustrations. And the drawing skills carry right back to paper, too.

No experience or equipment needed. All skill levels welcome — the only requirement is liking to draw.

The class meets two days a week, Tuesday afternoons or Saturday mornings, and families choose one. Saturday Session 1 runs 11:00 AM–12:30 PM through Oct 24.
