In 2D Digital Art, kids explore 2D fundamentals, allowing them to express their creativity successfully through a variety of mediums. Students will use programs like Krita and Piskel to learn foundational concepts such as value, line, space, figure, and gesture drawing.
Each month-long unit will equip students with the skills they need to finish 1-2 art projects that they can add to their portfolio and post online.
