Imagine your child discovering a new passion that allows them to bring their imagination to life on a tablet, with a variety of tools and possibilities to help them express the vision that arises in their mind.
We invite you to enter the world of creativity with the course "Digital Art: Drawing on a Tablet." Over the 9 months course, students will learn the basics of Adobe Photoshop: learn how to use a graphics tablet and create their own illustrations, comics, and digital paintings in various styles.
As a result, they will manage to create modern illustrations, develop game concept art, and also learn how to design logos for various brands and projects, including creating a visual identity and using graphic elements to represent ideas.
It is important that in addition to technical skills, children will develop teamwork skills and presentation of their creative projects.
Most significantly, your child will create their own portfolio of artistic works, which will serve as the first step toward a career in design, photography, marketing, and many other fields.
