YDACS: YDACS is pleased to announce our new High School Visual Arts course series!

Hello YDACS Community!

YDACS is pleased to announce our new High School Visual Arts course series!

This 2 semester series was created to satisfy the California State High School Visual Arts Standards and is comprised of three courses.

In the first semester students begin with our Digital Manga 101 course which uses Free software, and then 8 weeks later they enroll in our Digital Photo Painting 101 course, which uses Photoshop Elements 6. Each course lasts 8 weeks and costs $75.

In the second semester students take our new Visual Arts – Digital Manga, Comics, Graphic Novels, and Storyboarding course. This course is 16 weeks and costs $150. It builds on the skills taught in Digital Manga 101 and Digital Photo Painting 101. VAMCGS teaches the principles, tools, and techniques used to create Manga, Comics, Graphic Novels, and Storyboards. Being YDACS however we also break new ground by integrating photography into our comics so ALL students will be able to create original works of comic art with or without being able to draw. We also explore their historical and cultural dimensions, analyze and assess selected works, apply the skills learned for a school advertising campaign, analyze comics unique perspective on world events versus other media, and the varying skills required in the comics field.
