How to pick the best art camp for your student
Sometimes parents ask us where the best place to begin learning digital art and design is for their students. Here are a few quick tips to get you started in the right camp:
- Your child's grade: The first consideration should be your child’s age group. Make sure the camp you pick has their grade level listed.
- Design equipment: Make sure to check each camp's equipment requirements. For example, Canva allows you to design on the website for free, Photoshop requires software download with a 7-day free trial program, and Procreate costs $9.99/year and can be used only with an iPad and Apple pencil.
- Budget: Purchasing a complete program such as the Discovering Design Program can help you save.
- Schedule: Pick a schedule that matches your child's time preferences. If they're a night owl, pick an evening class.
- More questions: If you're not sure where to start, you can always email us at support@createandlearn.us, and we'll get you set up.
What is Canva?

What is Procreate?
Procreate is an award-winning illustration, sketching, and painting app made exclusively for iPad. When used together with the Apple pencil, it feels very similar to making art on paper. But it is much better than drawing on paper because it offers you a wide variety of Procreate brushes (plus the ability to customize and add more!), allows you to use fingers to redo and edit your design easily, and enables you to paint anytime anywhere. These camps require an iPad, Apple pencil and need to download Procreate app ($9.99/year).
What is Photoshop?
Adobe Photoshop is an extremely powerful application that's used by many professional photographers and designers. You can use Photoshop for almost any type of image editing, from touching up photos to creating high-quality graphics. Students can learn to use layers, masks, crops, direct selection, and brushes to combine multiple images into a digital collage. They can also delve deeper into color, adjustments, blending modes, editing tools, text, and shapes.
