Through structured lessons and creative assignments, students will create a cohesive portfolio showcasing their best work.
The Digital Art class introduces students to the dynamic world of digital creation. Using industry-standard tools like Adobe Photoshop and Procreate, students will learn digital painting, 3D modeling, and animation basics.
