Be a digital fashion designer and bring your creative vision to life using the latest photo editing software! Young designers will customize t-shirts in the style of guest artist Audrey Lyall’s bold Afro-futurist portraits, then use digital tools available to stage a 3D photoshoot. Each student will leave with their own digital magazine cover complete with cover stories that reflect their own individual interests.
T-shirts and iPads will be provided. This program is recommended for ages 7-14.
