Why Choose This Course?
Join us as we embark on an artistic adventure in Antarctica, learning how to create book covers that draw people in and spark curiosity. The course begins with a video showcasing the fascinating wildlife, like seals and penguins, jumping around the icy waters. Students will then dive into the artistic process, learning how to use depth, shape, and colour to bring their book covers to life. Through fun and interactive activities, students will design their own covers that reflect the beauty and mystery of Antarctica, while also exploring how artists make decisions to capture their audience’s attention.
