$12 Art Fee Due By September 26th
You are in for a fast-paced, highly collaborative year. We will build upon your Illustrator and animation skills from last year, as well as introduce Photoshop, Adobe Flash animation, and sprite-building for game design. If you show up and actively participate in class, ask for help, support and respect your peers, and reflect upon your own interests and talents, you will leave class knowing how to use advanced drawing tools, having collaborated on a video game, animated a web gif, and having designed a poster. The DMAD curriculum is advanced. The pace of class is fast. The attitude and flexibility to create detail-oriented art requires hard work. YOU WILL SUCCEED because of your attitude and effort.
