Students will learn about fonts, layout, colors, backgrounds, white space, balance, layers, opacity, photo effects, borders, shapes, frames, file formats, and more!  Students will learn to design graphics with animations, sounds, movies, and cool effects for reports, social media, invitations, posters, announcements, and just for fun!  Even children who find learning boring, or difficult to sit still and pay attention, will be captivated by the infinite creative possibilities of the designs that can be created in Canva.  It is a wonderful outlet for children, who will spend hours after the class designing graphics just for fun! 

Homework Offered
A fun graphic design project will be assigned each week.  The homework can take as short as 10-15 minutes to complete, to hours - depending on how "swept away" they get in the art zone.  Many of my students continue creating graphics long after the class is over.  Instructions will be given on how to copy the link to the graphic from Canva and paste it in the classroom for review and feedback.
0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
A learner's progress is assessed with a video that I record which gives feedback, encouragement, and additional challenges to the students to take their designs to the next level.
