The Art Corner studio is now offering a digital art program,
Digitally-rendered artwork is highly sought-after due to its efficiency, quality, and ease of modification. At The Art Corner, we are committed to imparting strong foundational skills in traditional drawing on paper and canvas. However, proficiency in digital art, including painting, graphic design, and photo editing, is a valuable asset across various career industries such as advertising, entertainment, and technology. Furthermore, digital design skills extend beyond artistic majors and can benefit individuals in numerous fields.
For instance, proficiency in 2D typographic design allows one to create compelling custom resumes, websites, and flyers. The ability to present professional materials in an organized and aesthetically pleasing manner can significantly enhance one's professional profile. Regardless of your chosen profession, a robust digital skill set can make you a more valuable employee.

In this course, we tailor our content to each student's unique needs, making it a personalized and dynamic learning experience. Beginners will receive guidance in drawing still objects or simple forms like apples, pears, eyes, and more. More advanced students will learn how to translate their ideas and original concepts into sketching, line work, and color applications.
We recommend enrolling students in at least middle school (6th grade, 11-12 years old) as this age group typically possesses the necessary understanding of software terms and proficient use of computing devices. Additionally, for 6th-grade students, a solid foundation in traditional drawing fundamentals with pencil and paper is advised, as digital drawing skills often build upon these core techniques.

The first series of projects
With these students, we aim to embark on a digital still life journey. You've witnessed many of our talented students craft exquisite still life compositions featuring vases, flowers, and fruit on paper, using mediums like colored pencils, pastels, and oil colors. Now, we're excited to challenge them to recreate similar works of art, but this time, they'll wield the power of digital tools with the use of a graphics tablet.
For this captivating project, our goal is to familiarize students with the art of drawing on a tablet and help them grasp essential software functions, including navigation, zooming, undo history, cropping, and color correction. Through this experience, they'll unlock new avenues for artistic expression and creativity |
The second project
We encourage students to explore the art of creating a portrait. Above, you'll find a visual representation of the steps we will guide them through to master the intricate nuances of skin tones. Creating a lifelike portrait can be challenging, as it often involves making multiple corrections to capture the true likeness of a face.

The third and optional project
We encourage students to explore conceptual illustration. Rather than replicating a photograph or real-life subject, our aim is to teach them how to craft an original idea in the form of a comic, cartoon, or surrealist image.
Our ultimate goal with this final project is to empower students to draw inspiration from a variety of sources and seamlessly transition from a traditional sketch on paper to a digital canvas.. |
