Learning Needs
Though I don't have formal training in supporting students with unique learning needs, I do have experience in working with them.
(I find that some of the very best art students happen to have unique learning needs.)
Parental Guidance
We will be using the free app, Adobe Fresco. An Adobe ID needs to be set up to use this.
Fresco is rated for ages 4+. Outschool requires parental consent for this resource.
Students need a computer to attend the class and an iPad to work on during the class.
See further details under Learner Supplies.
Pre-Requisites
Be familiar with how to use the device you'll be working on.
It's helpful to have photos you took, and a photo of a line drawing you made, ready to go on your device before the first lesson.
Skill in drawing / art is not a pre-req.
