Continuing Education at PAFA

Tuesdays, 12:30 - 3:30 p.m.
Instructor: Deon Robinson
Ten-Week Course (30 Hours)
Credit: Non-Credit or 1.0 Undergraduate Credit (See Below)

Explore drawing and painting beyond paper and canvas! Learn to create artworks on the computer using Adobe Photoshop and digital pen tablets. Apply drawing and painting concepts such as line quality, color, value, and mark-making techniques as you use your stylus like a brush or pencil with the computer screen or tablet as your digital canvas. Expand your traditional studio practice with digital portrait painting/drawing and silhouette painting techniques.  Students interested in game design may focus on extending fine art principles into the virtual realm in the development of character or creature design, environment design, concept art, or other pre-visual development. Students will utilize programs and equipment through PAFA’s illustration department – an excellent way to learn to work with digital art-making products without, or prior to, purchasing. This course is appropriate for anyone interested in translating their drawing/painting skills to another medium for their personal art-making practice or for students pursuing professional goals. 

Optional: This course is available for 1.0 undergraduate credit for $595. Select credit option with price adjustment when registering.
