Do you want to learn how to draw Anime digital portraits? Do you want to learn about proportions and various tips and tricks for Procreate? Do you want to learn shading and highlighting techniques? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this camp is for you! You will love this camp where we draw various digital Anime characters in our own style. In this camp, students will vote on Anime portraits to draw each day after reviewing a variety of different options. Many of the artworks are taken from Instagram and Pinterest, and credit will be given to each artist. In this class, students can interact with myself and one another as much as they like. This camp will allow for learners to share their art at the beginning of class and throughout each class. The first day of class, we will start with introductions and students will have an opportunity to get to know one another before we start with our first portrait. Then, Ms. Allison will mirror her screen on Zoom and guide students by explaining the process and techniques to create their own unique digital character drawings. Students are encouraged to be creative and develop their own original digital paintings. If students are more comfortable, they can trace the portraits, which will be posted to the classroom once chosen. Students will learn about the following techniques/functions and more throughout this five day class: -Drawing Assist -Layers -Clipping Masks -Blending Modes -Blending techniques -Various Brushes -Magic wand tool A possible schedule, which is subject to change based on the pace of the students, is outlined below: Day 1: Introductions and start the sketch/lineart for the first character drawing Day 2: Color first character and start sketch/lineart for the second character Day 3: Finish lineart for the second portrait and start coloring Day 4: Start sketch/lineart for the third portrait Day 5: Color third portrait and share artworks Ideally, students should have a basic understanding of Procreate for the iPad prior to enrolling in this class, which entails knowing where functions are located and experimenting with the program. Please consider taking Ms. Allison's ongoing classes or beginner Procreate classes prior to enrolling in this camp. Although, all students are welcome to participate in the camp, and Ms. Allison always meets students where they are in their digital art journey. I am a very laid back, passionate, patient, friendly, and encouraging teacher who cannot wait to meet you! **Procreate on the iPad is required for this class. Please see this website for compatibility and FAQ's about Procreate: https://procreate.art/faq. Please reach out with any questions! All drawings in the cover image are Ms. Allison's versions of DTIYS Anime character challenges from Instagram artists. **Students can take this class more than once as we will do different portraits!

Welcome! If you are looking for a friendly, kind, patient, and interactive teacher for your children, you have come to the right place. I'm so excited you are here! I am looking forward to engaging with your children and teaching digital art.
I have been a school psychologist in various school settings since 2013. As a school psychologist, I evaluate cognitive, academic, social/emotional and behavioral strengths and needs of children in order to help them learn. So, I have extensive experience working with neurodivergent students. I graduated from Temple University with an Educational Specialist Degree (Masters+45 Credits) in School Psychology, and I attended Penn State University for my undergraduate degree in Psychology with a Business focus. While in college, I took numerous art education courses. I have led various social/emotional groups for children in schools, and I have also taught art and drama classes at a summer camp. I am passionate about working with children and families. I am creative and art has been a hobby of mine growing up. I have experience with numerous art mediums, and I have worked with preschool through twelfth grade students. I believe in the power of using art to gain social-emotional skills.
I value getting to know all students I work with, learning names, and ensuring that all students are happy and engaged. I believe all students can learn, and I am very inclusive and loving towards all students I work with.
I have an eleven-year-old lab/terrier mix pup who I love, and she may make a personal introduction during our sessions! I enjoy exploring countries and learning about different cultures; I have been to Israel, Greece, Canada, and Mexico, and I lived in Michigan before moving to Pennsylvania. Can't wait to work with you and your children!
Please message me about any classes you are interested in and we can find a time to do them. I go back to my full time job after Labor Day but would love to provide classes after 5pm EST or on the weekends! I will also have some scheduled on the weekends! Looking forward to hearing from you!
I do not want cost to be a barrier to taking any of my classes if you are interested in them, so please reach out and we can arrange an affordable cost. =)
I was honored to be featured on Outschool's 2021 "E.P.I.C." blog as a "Passion Driven Educator". I am also an ACE educator on Outschool as I completed various professional development workshops to further my knowledge about working with diverse learners.
