Using highly acclaimed children’s art software, this session provides a great opportunity for kids to learn about creating digital art and simple animation. Children will create still art using special digital effects and learn how to create simple animation. All the art work and animations will be combined together in creation of a special slide show with more special effects! Each participant will receive a CD with artwork to take home.
