Welcome to Digital Art and Design.
Class description:
This class will start off in the art room working on projects to instill the basic concepts of the elements and principles of design. Once in the computer lab, the learned concepts along with multiple software programs will be used to create artwork on the computer. The use of the computer in this class is nothing more than an alternative form of paper, paint, brushes and pens in the creation of artwork.
