I hold a Bachelors in Fine Art from Virginia Tech and a Masters in Art Education from Virginia Commonwealth University. I taught digital art as a public high school teacher  and as an adjunct university professor; now I enjoy teaching digital art to students online.  I love teaching drawing, painting, sculpture and Photoshop to learners of all ages. I've been teaching for 20+ years and running my own piano studio for 10+ years. There's a special place in my heart for creative works and the artists that make them, especially fantasy stories and narrative artworks, comics and graphic novels.
Materials Needed:

🖼️ Wikipedia is a great resource for copyright free photos. Students will need to download their own photos for their photo collages.

💡   I will be using Photopea.com and/or Sketchbook app to screenshare demonstrations.  Your learner is welcome to use any of the following digital art programs to create their masterpieces for this class:  Procreate, Adobe Photoshop, Photopea.com, Autodesk Sketchbook, Krita, ibisPaint, and PicsArt. Similar programs will also work, but message me if you have any questions.

💻  Procreate is the most popular digital art tool right now, but it is only available for iPad. It’s great for digital drawing and has photo editing capabilities. Find it at https://procreate.art/ipad

💻  Adobe Photoshop is still the industry standard for photo editing and digital art. It is available for any device in a paid edition, but free and “lite” editions exist for mobile devices. Find it at https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop or search your app store for "Photoshop."

💻  Photopea.com is free online software that works nearly exactly like Adobe Photoshop and is great for students using a laptop. Students who have not purchased and installed Photoshop on their computer may opt to use Photopea instead if they have a strong internet connection. Find it at https://www.photopea.com

💻  Sketchbook is a free app available for all devices: Windows, Android, tablets, iPad, iPhone. A pro paid version is also available. This app is great for drawing with digital layers and has the basic selection, cut, and paste tools necessary for making a photo collage. Find it at https://www.sketchbook.com/apps

💻  Krita is a free, open source software for all devices with photo editing capabilities but built for illustration. Find it at https://krita.org

💻  ibisPaint is an easy-to-use digital drawing tool and photo editing app available for Windows, MacOS, Android and iPad. Free and paid versions. Find it at https://ibispaint.com/about.jsp

💻  PicsArt is available in free or paid editions for all devices. I do not recommend this program, but it is a fully functional digital art and photo editing app. Find it at https://picsart.com/gold
