Together, we will conduct a series of low-pressure art experiments to quickly curate a set of digital brushes that reflect our signature style.

How to Do the Project

Reflect on what digital medium or artistic style you might like to emulate in your digital art
Experiment with digital brushes using 1-3 techniques in Adobe Fresco or Procreate to discover brushes that you would like to continue to use in the future, especially those that help you achieve the style or look that you desire
Save your favorite brushes to your app's Favorites library
Record a list of your five favorite brushes to upload to the project gallery

Why complete the project?

This will help to relieve the pressure of having too many options, so artists can stop feeling overwhelmed and start doing what they love - making art

Students will reflect on elements/textures they would like to incorporate into their art to develop their own personal style

Students can rely on these techniques again and again to incorporate fresh ideas as their style evolves
