My Project

My students are motivated and highly engaged in my computer lab where I teach digital art. I am extremely lucky to have the chance to teach Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator along with other digital art programs in my 6th, 7th, and 8th grade classes.

Digital drawing is an important part of Digital Imaging and to make it equitable for all students I need to replace a few Wacom tablets in my classroom set.

There are many opportunities for students to use the Wacom Drawing tablets in my classroom for various projects. Over the years, the Wacom Drawing tablets have shown some wear and tear and some tablets are not in working order anymore. These Wacom tablets will allow students to create intricate digital illustrations and translate traditional skills to the digital medium!
