Digital Drawing on the iPad (Summer Program for Ages 10+)

Digital Drawing on the iPad (Summer Program for Ages 10+)

Digital drawing taken to the next level, with emphasis on unique techniques to push creativity.

In this immersive week, learners will dive into the world of digital illustration using iPads and the Procreate app. Rather than sticking to one “perfect” style, this class celebrates creative exploration, trying unexpected techniques and breaking the rules to make bold, one-of-a-kind artwork. Learners will stretch their imaginations and express themselves freely, with a challenging but playful approach to digital art.

Our instructor, Lauren Beck, loves helping young creatives find their voice through digital tools and imaginative techniques. With her warm and inspiring teaching style, students will feel safe and excited to take creative risks and experiment in new ways.

📌 Note:

This camp is designed specifically for preteens or teens ages 10–17. To ensure the best creative experience, we ask that all participants fall within this age range when registering. Thank you!

Three-Day Breakdown:

• Day One: PORTRAITS!
  Find ways to draw humans, using photos as reference, with contour lines and painterly digital brushes to capture style.
• Day Two: SYMMETRY!
  Special exploratory projects using Procreate's symmetry tools in a fresh way, with challenges that will turn simple drawings into striking artwork.
• Day Three: POSTER DESIGN!
  Bring together illustration skills learned to design a vibrant poster, with lettering, color, and composition to capture personal expression.
• OPTIONAL DAY FOUR can be added as "Open Friday Studio for Preteens & Teens" in order to finish up work or simply explore materials in a relaxed way, with the instructor present for feedback. (see more info below)

Daily Schedule:

We allow drop-off starting at 8:45am, with our program beginning at 9:00am and finishing at 12:00pm, for 3-hours of instruction each day. There will be a complimentary snack once per day, where students can relax and take a break from their art making, or they can continue working as they munch. Pickup begins at 12:00pm, with a buffer of 15 minutes.

Open Friday Studio for Preteens & Teens:

Oftentimes, students need some additional time to finish up projects, or they just are having too much fun to stop for the week! We are opening up Fridays in the summer for an additional add-on day, which will offer participants a relaxed timeframe to continue exploring, or even try a new medium in a low-stress way to finish out their week.

Instructors will be available for assisting the art making, but they'll act as more of a facilitator keeping kids on task, answering questions, or offering suggestions. This will not be a formal lesson!

These days will also be open to any preteens and teens to drop in for creative time, so kids can bring their friends or join in on other weeks during the summer, too. Each participant must have a paid ticket to join the session.

Interested in adding on our Open Friday Studio? Add on the specific date in your cart at any time. We can host up to 18 preteens and teens during these special Fridays.
