Class Experience

Unleash your inner graphic designer with our interactive and exciting online course designed specifically for 12 to 17-year-olds! Harness the power of Canva, one of the world's leading design tools, to create your own striking designs, perfect for presentations, social media posts, videos, and more.

In this course, we'll start with the basics, navigating the Canva platform, then quickly move onto more advanced topics like removing backgrounds from images and layering elements to create intricate, eye-catching designs.

This is not just another lecture-based class! Our online classroom encourages interactivity and creativity. Through step-by-step demonstrations, guided practice, and creative challenges, you'll have the opportunity to apply what you learn, get real-time feedback, and build a portfolio of your very own designs.

Here’s what you'll get out of this course:

Canva Navigation: Learn to comfortably navigate Canva's interface, either free or Pro version, and discover the wealth of resources available at your fingertips.

Design Basics: Understand the fundamentals of design, including color theory, typography, and composition.

Background Removal: Master the technique of removing backgrounds from images, a powerful tool for creating professional-looking designs.

Layering Techniques: Learn how to layer text, photos, and graphics to create depth and visual interest in your designs.

Design for Different Mediums: Adapt your designs for presentations, social media, videos, and more.

Feedback and Revision: Gain the ability to critique your own and others' designs and make revisions based on feedback.

Portfolio Development: By the end of the course, you'll have a portfolio of designs that you can showcase to your peers, teachers, or even potential clients!

No previous design experience is necessary to enroll in this course, just a willingness to learn and a desire to express yourself creatively.

Please note: Before the course begins, you must be able to log into your Canva account. This is a critical requirement for participation. Unfortunately, we will not have the capacity to troubleshoot individual Canva login issues during the class. If you need help setting up your Canva account, we recommend checking out Canva's comprehensive Help Center or contacting their support team prior to the start of the course.

So, are you ready to take your digital creativity to new heights? Sign up today and step into the world of design with Canva for Creative Teens: Mastering Design & Layering Techniques!
