This course is for you if you want to develop digital arts skills in an experimental life drawing situation. You will have
access to a life model and will be able to draw directly onto the computer using Wacom technology, and manipulate
it in Adobe Photoshop.
The digital arts studio is equipped with industry-standard hardware and software. Apple Mac computers are used,
but most of what is taught is also applicable to a Windows environment: tutors will explain differences. You may
wish to take our three-hour single session 'Introduction to using Apple computers' first if you are more used to the
Windows operating system.
