In our technological world, many people have developed an interest in PhotoShop or other forms of digital art and photo editing. Many have even decided to make a career out of this hobby. The key to finding a successful job in digital art, though, is to go through proper training. Although there are schools offering courses in digital arts, the easiest way to learn the skills you need is to take an online class. Not only can this help those interested get a job they love, it can help even casual artists enhance their computer skills.
The key to finding a good online program is to look for one that adheres to industry standards and uses professional software. Of course, you may have to make a small investment to get this software on your own computer. Choosing classes that suit your goals is also important. Some courses focus specifically on aspects of web design, game development, marketing, or photo manipulation. Depending on your career or personal goals, the right type of focus can make all the difference.
A great place to enhance your digital art skills is at www.digitalartacademy.com. This site offers classes involving Corel Painter Open Studio, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator. These cost roughly $42.00 to $75.00 and last roughly four weeks per session. The courses expose students to the newest technology and techniques, and are taught by dedicated professionals. Each one focuses on a specific aspect of digital art. Thus, you can take everything from “Smudge Painting” to “Digital Print Embellishment.”
Gatlin Education Services, located at www.gatlineducation.com, also offers a Digital Arts Certificate program. Their courses take a total of 225 hours to complete. Photoshop, Illustrator, and other programs are utilized to teach students creative artistry and digital photo enhancement. Students also learn basic artistic concepts, like color properties and composition methods, and are expected to critique artistic work using valid argumentation. In addition to lessons, students are expected to complete independent projects using a variety of learned techniques. These focus on practical skills, such as logo design and image retouching.
A third great school is Sessions Online School of Design at www.sessions.edu. Their Digital Arts Certificates span three levels from “foundation” to “advanced” to "master’s.” All three levels come to a total thirty-nine unique courses. Students not only receive a foundation in artistic design, they also learn major industry software and techniques. At the conclusion of the program, all participants will have also developed an extensive portfolio, which can be used to help acquire a great job. While these courses may seem more expensive than other options, financial aid is available and the curriculum itself is more intensive than competing institutions.
There are countless other programs out there that offer digital arts training online. Any quality courses should focus on the popular software utilized by professionals. It should also offer students the chance to build a portfolio to display to employers. Ultimately, working with digital art can be a rewarding profession. All it takes is the knowledge and creativity to turn a few heads.
