February 20 and 27, 2021 – Creating Stories on the iPad
with Rita Colantonio on Zoom

For the storyteller or the reader of books and poems, for the inner poet and lover of lyrics, for the romantic with a collection of favorite books, for the writer of children’s stories, this workshop is for you. Creating digital images on the iPad can bring your stories to life! The skills learned here can be useful for creating book covers, cards and illustrations for books. We will use Procreate and IColorama apps to composite elements that will build your story. Your own camera rolls can supply what you need. We will explore the basic techniques of choosing and cutting out the best elements. We will choose a background and overall texture and ambiance for mood. We will also learn to use text in our images. Because we will be working with layers, Procreate app will be our go to app.

This is an INTERMEDIATE course and requires some basic knowledge of Procreate, IColorama and Mextures Apps. The focus of this course is the development of concepts and the skills involved in implementing those concepts.

Please have Procreate (the updated version), IColorama and Mextures installed on your iPad.
