初學者數位藝術訓練營：學習在 Procreate 中繪畫、著色、添加陰影和設計風格

In our friendly, casual project-based Procreate class, learners will learn all the tools need to make art on their IPad and create a new art work each class in this 2-day intro. to digital art! We encourage experimenting and customizing to build confidence and intuition while students work step-by-step with the teacher!

✨  Learners have the opportunity to get individual feedback each class and gain confidence using a variety of brushes, erasers and smudge tools, choosing and editing color, and practicing their observational and drawing skills!

✨  EXPERIENCE LEVEL ✨
This class is designed for beginners who have little to no experience in Procreate or formal drawing instruction. If you love this two-day workshop, consider joining one of our Beginner Procreate classes! Many students stay for years and move onto our Intermediate and Advanced and Open Studio Procreate classes at Young Illustrators Studio!

A TYPICAL CLASS
• Hello! Share art we’ve been making and admiring!
• Visual Reference: observe and make a choice
• Step-by-step instruction, work time, experimenting, feedback and questions
• Sharing (Students do not have to share and it’s never a big deal to pass.)
• Requests and Goodbyes

✨  GROWTH MINDSET ✨
In our classes, we are building a multi-layered scaffolding of the love of learning that is rooted in the idea that we can find inspiration every day to start again right where we are, finding satisfaction and pride in seeing our progress! Learners who stick with our classes over time come to believe that experimenting, problem solving, setbacks, re-trying and breakthroughs among the support, kindness and inspiration of peers and qualified mentors leads to more flexibility, innovation, courage and self-confidence in not only their art skills, but in all other areas of life! And we have a lot of fun doing it!

We use conversation prompts to create an inspiring atmosphere where artists learn to trust their intuition. We use targeted practice to break down the mechanics of a complex and difficult skill like art into easy, achievable steps, while having fun and building connections and friendships over what we love and struggle with in the art process!

We focus on learning and process—most classes will not end with a “finished” piece. Instead, students will build and practice the tools and techniques needed to continue with the piece between classes!

✨  CULTURE ✨ 
Our classes are anchored in kindness, affirmations and fun! We do not use competitions or comparing. Constructive, hamburger-style critiques are offered by the teacher. There is a variety of skill level in each group, and we validate and help kids feel good about wherever their skill is. Kids love to share their art and bond over what they love and struggle with. We teach learners how to find joy and delight in their practice, which motivates them to do it more.

✨ During sharing time, mics are allowed to be kept on. During draw-along, learners are encouraged to ask for feedback and ask questions out loud or in the chat. If a learner has background noise, they will be asked to keep their mic muted when not speaking. We make art from all learner interests, including: figure drawing, animals, chibi, kawaii, video games, movies, book art, landscapes, anime, manga, fashion design, architecture and more!

✨This is an inclusive, safe space where everyone can feel empowered to be themselves and create art that reflects the world they dream about! • Bring your ideas and an open mind! • Classes may run up to ten minutes late depending on sharing, learner questions and discussion.
