Digital Art Club - Create, Animate & Screen Share Your Work With Other Creators

The objective of this club is to blend peer-to-peer inspiration with instructor's tips, guidance and resources to create an encouraging and enjoyable club for sharing inspiration, tips and techniques in the realm of digital art creation.

I have worked professionally using Photoshop for 30 years and have also created professional animations and motion graphics using a variety of software and editing tools. My degree is in Art (major in Commercial Art with a Minor in Fine Art) and I took supplementary continuing education at the School of Museum of Fine Arts (Boston) for animation. I have taught as an adjunct professor at the college level, and have been working with children ages 10 and up for the past few years to help them embrace and progress at drawing and design using traditional and digital methods.

Learners are self-directed and choose to participate in art prompts or challenges as they wish.

Over time, students will gain critiquing skills and learn the very important difference being "critquing" and being overly "critical." 
My goal is for my learners to develop tools to combat impatience and frustration; to push for improvement yet respect the whole process along the way. Ultimately, "progress" is understood as recognizing what is "good" work and what might make it "better" and being able to apply that mental approach in a productive way.

50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
