Virtual
Ages 12-17
Join MODA for a virtual studio and illustrate an original space creature!
In this virtual studio, young designers will explore how digital artists create fantasy creatures through shape, color, texture, and lighting. Students will invent their own extraterrestrial life form using Medibang Paint Pro. They’ll think about detailed skin patterns, glowing markings, unusual anatomy, and dramatic lighting effects that bring their creature to life. They will consider how the creature’s appearance reflects its environment and behavior. 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 shape, texture, and lighting communicate personality and environment
Design an original alien creature with unique anatomical features
Use MediBang Paint Pro to create a polished digital illustration
Practice digital painting techniques for textures, glowing effects, 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)
