COURSE DESCRIPTION:

PREREQUISITE: iPad with stylist or iPad Pro with Pen, as well as the “Procreate” app installed (app costs a one-time fee, $9.99), and a note pad and pen/pencil for taking notes.

   Each week a demo will be shown on how the program is used for that week’s objective. Dive into the digital world with this (6)-week program. For (2)-hours per class, your teacher explains how to use the Procreate app. Procreate is a simple art app which gives the artist freedom to work while traveling or sitting at home without art supplies. This digital course teaches you, hands on, how to use Procreate to create digital art just the same as if you used most drawing mediums. It is the closest art application there is to using the actual art supplies. It is also closely related to Adobe products and works with Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop to enlarge or finalize your work for professional grade compositions. High resolution with the iPad Pro allows you to print finalized pieces for finished artwork. Procreate also works with your original artwork to fix, change or enhance your original pieces for print.
