Using your iPad in Art (3 week evening course)

Over three consecutive Weds evenings, (six hours of tuition) Using Your iPad in Art course will cover iPad basics such as navigating the device and using the stylus, as well as art techniques like drawing, painting, adding text and manipulating images.

By the end of the course, you will have a solid understanding of how to use your iPad for art and will have created several pieces.

Using Your iPad in Art is aimed at creative people who have an iPad and want to learn how to use it to develop their own work. We will be developing drawings and compositions from source material like existing sketches or photographs and editing existing artwork. So the ability to draw and plan a composition is useful.

About Using your iPad in Art, Samantha says
“I am not a technical expert, but I do love the iPad as a creative tool. I bought my first iPad well over a decade ago after I saw David Hockney's early iPad work he was developing for his Bigger Picture exhibition. The iPad and the exhibition didn't disappoint, and I have been inspired by both ever since. At a basic level, the iPad is very intuitive and easy to use. It is capable of much more, but that's a whole other course.
I use the iPad not only to create artwork but also to help me plan compositions and experiment with changes to paintings I am working on. For example, I might add or remove details to see if it works before committing to the page. This is very useful if you are working in watercolour. I also manipulate the colour of existing artwork and add text to create something totally new.”

We hope to see you in class!
