In this one-time class, learners will use Canva to design a beautiful princess or dashing prince graphic art like those that you see on posters for television, movies, comics, graphic novels, or on the covers of your favorite books.

Learners will learn to use basic Canva features including how to insert and format text, how to insert elements like pictures and graphics, and how to insert a background. Students who are experienced in Canva will be able to explore creating designs at a more advanced level.  This class is meant to meet students where they are.

During this class we will explore the following Canva features:

  • Elements - Canva has an extensive selection of elements and we will explore many of the various element types and learners will be taught to search for the type of elements that they would like to use such as lines and shapes, graphics, photos, videos, audio, charts, frames, and grids.

  • Text - Canva has a wide range of text styles available. Learners will learn to insert various text types and change font, size, color, and spacing. Learners will explore headings, subheadings, body text, and font combinations.

  • Backgrounds - Learners will learn how to insert backgrounds and remove image backgrounds. 

In this class, learners will be able to design alongside the instructor to create their own graphic design.  The teacher will screen share a design that she is creating as learners use their creativity to create their own design.  

Parents will need to sign learners up for a free Canva account before class.  Learners will need to be logged into their Canva account prior to the start of class.   (The learners can fully participate in the class with the free account.  The teacher will demonstrate some of the things that can be accomplished with premium features.)

Learners will need basic computer skills including an understanding of drag and drop and how to conduct this task on their device.  They will also need to know how to navigate multiple windows if they are using Canva on the same device that they are logged into the classroom.
