Welcome to Digital Art!
The DIGITAL ART program at BEAR CREEK allows students to explore creative outlets in NEW MEDIA. Ever wanted to explore art beyond the boundaries of pencil and paper? In Digital Art, students learn and explore industry-standard graphic arts software like Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. Our program can be a great stepping stone to careers in Fine Art, Photography, Graphic Design, Animation, and Illustration, or just a fun arts credit that will give you the skills to edit your own photos, design professional-looking layouts, and create amusing photomanipulations to share with your friends over social media.
What Courses do we Offer?
Digital Art is a type of ARTS CREDIT and is offered at all grade levels from 9 to 12. You can enter the course stream at both grade 9 and 10 levels without a prerequisite, but need to complete the grade 9 or 10 course before you can move on to the senior classes.
Do you need to buy the programs?
We do not expect our students to own their own copies of the programs we use. Therefore, we structure our Digital Arts courses so that the main projects can be completed entirely during class time. If you are interested in purchasing Adobe suite programs, check out their website. Educational pricing is available, and trial versions of the software may be downloaded that will last for 30 days.
