Digital Drawing - Teens

How to Register

Digital Art Summer Workshops for Rising 8th-12th Graders

Our summer digital art program for teens offers two focused courses: Digital Intro and Character Design, held at both our Vienna and Chantilly, VA locations. Designed for rising 8th through 12th graders, our studio-based workshops serve students across Northern Virginia communities who want to explore digital art in a supportive, focused environment. 


Both programs feature small class sizes and individualized instruction, with our teachers providing personalized feedback and unique artistic guidance. All software is provided, and for our introductory course, no prior experience is needed! 


Enrollment is limited to 10 students per session, therefore early registration is highly encouraged. 

    Digital Drawing: Intro

     This one-week program offers a structured, beginner-friendly introduction to computer-based digital art. Designed for students with no prior experience, the course focuses on foundational digital drawing skills, creative exploration, and visual storytelling. Using professional illustration software, participants will build a strong foundation in digital art while gaining familiarity with industry-standard tools.

    Digital Drawing: Character Design

Students will refine their understanding of form, proportion, expression, and visual storytelling while creating character-driven artwork using professional digital illustration software. This program is suited for students interested in illustration, animation, or building a digital portfolio for college.
