3 files available upon enrollment✔️ Downloaded class resources: I will provide the photos that we will use for this lesson in the classroom. Prior to class time, the provided photos will need to be downloaded to the learner's iPad device. ✔️ iPad: The Procreate app is currently only available on the iPad. ✔️ Up to date Procreate app: This is $9.99 in the App Store, but well worth the investment. ✔️ Stylus: I highly recommend using an Apple Pencil for best results, however, any stylus can be used or even your finger. ✔️ A separate device for class so that the learner can draw along with me on their iPad as they view my demonstration of Procreate.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
1 hour per week in class, and no time outside of class.
We will be creating digital art on the Procreate app for iPads during this class. This is a third-party app that will need to be downloaded onto the learner's iPad device. You will not need to create an account to use this app. All of your Procreate data is tied to your iPad and your Apple ID.
