Students will complete numerous projects that concentrate on different skills such as number morphs, walk-cycles, and stop motion that will introduce them to digital art practices and continue to build their traditional drawing foundational skills. Class is designed for like-minded students to make friends and collaborate with each other in a creative setting.
