In this fun, 8-week course, students will learn how to create their own artwork using Adobe Photoshop and prepare it for printing on items like t-shirts, mugs, and more! 

This hands-on class teaches the basics of digital design, from creating original illustrations to editing images and applying colors, patterns, and textures. 

Students will discover how to turn their ideas into professional-quality designs ready for print. 

Students will explore digital design concepts like layering, selecting and editing images, adding text, applying textures, and preparing designs for print on items such as t-shirts, mugs, and more. 

By the end, each student will have a unique, print-ready design to showcase their creativity.

Class Structure: The class meets once a week for 45 minutes over 8 weeks. Each session includes a mix of instruction, demonstration, and hands-on practice. 

Students will progressively build their skills. By Week 8, students will have finalized their own artwork and learned how to prepare it for print.

Teaching Style: The class is interactive and supportive. Students can follow along watch or create their own projects. I use live demonstrations to explain key concepts, followed by guided practice where students apply what they’ve learned. Each class ends with a fun challenge or mini-project to reinforce the day’s lesson.

Learner Interaction: 

Students will have plenty of opportunities to interact through:

Live discussions: Ask questions during the lecture and demonstrations
Hands-on challenges: Weekly creative tasks to apply techniques learned
Personal feedback: Direct feedback on individual designs and progress
Group sharing: Students will share their designs and ideas in a collaborative, encouraging environment
This format is perfect for beginners and fosters creativity while providing a chance to interact with other classmates.
