Description

The goal of this high school graphic design class is to introduce students to the basics of using a free Canva account to create graphics for presentations, infographics, posters, social media, and more. Students will learn how to work with design elements from scratch as well as how to use Canva’s library of templates to save time and get inspiration.

The course will take students through a series of fun projects as they put into practice what they are learning. They will also be encouraged to develop their own creative style as a vital skill to use in the future. When the course is completed, students should have the confidence to use Canva to create visual media for school assignments and more.

This class can be used as an Art credit for high school.
