Digital Painting 1

0.5 Credit: Semester       

Prerequisite: Drawing 1 & Painting 1 highly recommended

Digital painting is an emerging art form in which traditional painting techniques such as watercolor, oils, impasto, etc. are applied using digital tools by means of a computer, a graphics tablet and stylus, and software. The artist uses painting techniques to create the digital painting directly on the computer. All digital painting programs try to mimic the use of physical media through various brushes and paint effects. Digital Painting 1 will introduce students to software such as Kria, Procreate, and the industry standard, Photoshop. 

**Completion of Drawing 1 and Painting 1 is HIGHLY encouraged before signing up for Digital Painting.
