DIGITAL ART & DESIGN II COURSE DESCRIPTION

In this course, students will develop advanced digital drawings, paintings and designs. Students will

build on their prior knowledge of Photoshop skills while learning how to create more elaborate

images on the computer using programs from the Adobe suite. Technology such as digital cameras,

scanners, and drawing tablets will also be used as media in this course. In addition to exploring the

different digital technology and tools available in each program, the elements of art and the

principles of design will continue to be utilized to create original works of art. Work may be

representational, abstract or symbolic in nature. Technology’s role in the art world will be explored

through class discussions and critiques.
