Class Experience

In this introductory course, students will get an introduction to the program Adobe Illustrator.  In this one-hour course, we will introduce setting up an artboard as well as how to create a self-portrait using the Pen, Shape, and different shape tools by the end of the course.

This course will be structured to be a learn-and-do approach.  Students in the class will follow along with the instructor to do the following tasks:
 - Create an Artboard from scratch
 - Import a picture
 - Use the pen tool to trace non-regular shapes
 - Use the shape tools to create regular shapes
 - Change Anchor points
 - Edit Attributes like Fill, Stroke, and Opacity

For this class, students will need:
 - Adobe Creative Cloud Subscription for Adobe Illustrator
 - Second monitor (optional)

Toward the end of class, students will have the option to share their work with their classmates and the instructor and ask for individual help with a particular issue.

This is a class intended for all learners.  Students should have basic skills using a computer (using a mouse, typing, etc.) for this class in order to get the most out of the class.
