This is a highly creative class where children will get swept away in a "zone" of creativity. Children will love learning and playing with colors, fonts, shapes, backgrounds, animations, sound, and movies and so much more! Although an age range is specified for this class, it can be really be taken by children 8-18. I have taught this class to kids and adults in the same class. You will see the empowerment that the children gain when they create really amazing pieces of art! Your children will continue to use the program long after the session is over to explore and create new artwork. Children do not require any graphic design knowledge to take this class. The class starts with a demonstration of skills and then there is practice time for the kids to apply the skills and ask questions. The free version of Canva is required for this class. Sign up for a free account (NOT a pro trial) at www.canva.com. A computer is preferred for this class, however, the children can also learn Canva on an Ipad. Only 1 device is required for this class. Children will learn the following in this class: DAY 1 - INTRODUCTION Fonts, font theory, colors, point sizes, backgrounds, transparency, file types, templates, clip art gallery + practice creating an inspirational graphic or message. DAY 2 - FUN WITH FRAMES + ELEMENTS Frames, positioning, alignment, elements, borders & shapes, uploading images, animations, + practice creating your name in frames. DAY 3 - FUN WITH PHOTOS, ELEMENTS Inserting images, rotating, cropping, filters, effects, frame styles, more elements, stickers, music and videos + practice creating a collage. DAY 4 - MORE GRAPHICS! Review + templates, balance, symmetry, mood, color adjustments, flipping, duplicating, photo grids + practice.
Learning Goals
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!Other Details
Parental Guidance
The free graphic design program, Canva, is required for this class. An adult or child 13+ should sign up for the FREE plan prior to the first class. It is NOT necessary to sign up for the 30-day free trial of Canva PRO, so bypass this option.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi!
My name is Risa and I LOVE arts & crafts, singing, painting, and graphic design. I am a lifelong learner and I'm interested in history, science, and leadership.
I ALWAYS have an arts & crafts project going on. I am currently creating wearable art by painting beautiful pictures on shirts. I love to knit, paint, do pottery, make jewelry, and many more creative projects.
I have been a website designer and a graphic artist for the past 20 years. I've designed dozens of websites and I've designed hundreds - probably almost a thousand - graphics. I am the owner of several websites, including an e-commerce website, a jewelry information website, and a quote website.
I love working with kids. My greatest pleasure is seeing the joy that kids get when they are in their creative zone- where time flies and their creativity is unleashed - and they are excited and inspired.
I have had children in my classes who pay rapt attention for over an hour, who usually cannot sit still much longer than 20 minutes.
My classes are fun, interesting, and full of possibilities. About 2/3 of the class is spent teaching or demonstrating skills, and the rest of the time is spent on practice, where kids design a graphic on their own and ask questions.
In my science and history classes, the children will apply what is taught by creating storyboards with photos and facts of what we learned.
Using Canva to create graphic designs is a skill that your children will use for the rest of their lives. There is always a reason to create a graphic - whether it is for a report, an invitation, a poster, a brochure, social media, or creating a graphic for special occasions.
Your kids will LOVE the classes that I teach!
