Virtual
Ages 12-17
Join MODA for a virtual studio and illustrate an ancient temple, forgotten ruin, or hidden city filled with storytelling details.
In this virtual studio, young designers will explore how digital artists use architecture, lighting, texture, and composition to create immersive historical environments. Students will imagine a long forgotten civilization and illustrate a scene featuring carved stone, weathered monuments, mysterious symbols, artifacts, overgrown pathways, or hidden chambers. Using Medibang Paint Pro, they will build an environment that encourages viewers to imagine the people who once lived there and the stories left behind. At the end of the studio, students can share their work and receive feedback in a supportive environment.
In this Afterschool Studio, we’ll:
Study how environments communicate history through architecture and visual details
Explore ancient ruins, hidden cities, temples, carvings, and symbolic imagery
Use MediBang Paint Pro to create a detailed environmental illustration
Practice digital painting techniques that create atmosphere, texture, and depth
Provide a space to share and provide constructive feedback
Practice collaboration, inclusivity, creative courage, imaginative problem-solving, storytelling, and critical thinking.
Tech Needs:
A computer
Zoom
MediBang Paint Pro software pre-installed (it’s free!)
Drawing tablet (optional but easier to create with)
