Course Overview
Course Overview
Digital Media is the entry point into CTE Arts for Junior High students. You'll explore the foundations of visual art — line, shape, color, texture, composition — and learn how to apply those fundamentals using digital tools.
But this class is about more than creating cool things. You'll also develop the mindset of a responsible digital citizen: understanding how to engage with creative work online, respect intellectual property, protect your own work, and build a digital presence you're proud of.
No experience required. Curiosity is enough.
