FLEX Procreate Skills Academy: Digital Art Beginner to Intermediate

This digital art Procreate camp is suitable for beginners! It's the perfect class for students interested in growing their Procreate skills from novice to intermediate. Each pre-recorded video lesson is accompanied by a PDF guide showing each step of the process in writing and screenshots. Please note that there are NO live instruction sessions. All lessons are conducted via pre-recorded videos at your learner's convenience. Students are welcome to schedule a live meeting time in the classroom if they need help with something specific.

There are no pre-requisites for this class, however it is necessary to have the Procreate app ($9.99 in the Apple app store) downloaded to your iPad in order to take this class. Procreate is only available on Apple devices at this time. It's also very useful to have a stylus of some kind, but class can be done without one.

Each week students will complete a different project using new skills and will have the option of completing the same project I do OR using the technique to create their own project. I love to see creativity in action! Students will upload their projects to our classroom area where they will provide insight on their own process and constructive feedback on their classmates' projects.

In week one, students will become acquainted with several of the basic features of Procreate. They will get familiar with Procreate's different menu options while drawing a cute cartoon animal. Once their project is done, they can upload it to our classroom area and add a comment about what they are most proud of and what their biggest challenge was. The other students and I will keep the conversation going by responding to each others' comments. 

In week two, students will learn how to add pizazz to typed and handwritten text. Once their project is done, they can upload it to our classroom area and add a comment about what they are most proud of and what their biggest challenge was. The other students and I will keep the conversation going by responding to each others' comments.

In week three, students will learn how to make custom brushes. They will then use at least one of their brushes in a project of their choice.  Once their project is done, they can upload it to our classroom area and add a comment about what they are most proud of and what their biggest challenge was. The other students and I will keep the conversation going by responding to each others' comments. 
In week four, students will learn how to make and use digital glitter. They will then use their digital glitter in a project of their choice. After viewing the week's video tutorial, students should complete their project in Procreate. Once their project is done, they can upload it to our classroom area and add a comment about what they are most proud of and what their biggest challenge was. The other students and I will keep the conversation going by responding to each others' comments. 

In week five, students will use a photo to create a cartoon version of themselves. After viewing the week's video tutorial, students should complete their project in Procreate. Once their project is done, they can upload it to our classroom area and add a comment about what they are most proud of and what their biggest challenge was. The other students and I will keep the conversation going by responding to each others' comments. 

Teacher/Student interaction: I look forward to seeing students' completed work each week and finding out what they are most proud of and what their biggest challenge was. Those two questions often lead to further insight about a learner's process and provide additional learning opportunities for everyone.

Student/Student interaction: Each week students will share constructive feedback on each other's projects. They can comment on something the learner did well and ask questions about the learners' processes.
