STORY & DIGITAL ART COURSE

Discover the enchanting fusion of language and creativity with our online Story and Digital Art course, where children are taken on a journey of Mandarin stories and art making. The children will listen to a specially curated Chinese story, engage in discussions, and learn digital drawing skills.

In this course, we will use the ipad app-Procreate. Week by week, learners embark on a progressive learning path, starting with foundational principles of Procreate's tools and functionalities. Through step-by-step tutorials and interactive exercises, students become adept at navigating Procreate's interface, manipulating brushes, and creating stunning digital artwork.

Yue Yue Lao Shi's approachable teaching style ensures a fun and relaxing atmosphere, making the online class a delightful journey of discovery. Embrace the fusion of language, culture, and artistic expression in our Story and Digital Art class!

Note from our teacher

Hi everyone, my name is Yue Wang. I'm an artist, passionate about painting and various handicrafts. I graduated from Dalian polytechnic University with a bachelor's degree in visual communication design, and a master's degree in contemporary arts. I obtained the International Registered Chinese Teacher Qualification Certificate in 2020. In 2022, I received a Master's degree in Fine Art from the University of the Arts London.

I really like creating art with children. They bring me a lot of inspiration, and we always learn from each other. I have participated in many charity activities related to children's art, and my children's art charity planning has won the German IF PUBLIC VALUE STUDENT AWARD. Reading picture books for children and using artistic techniques such as clay sculpting or painting, allowing them to enter into interesting storylines, is my main way of teaching. I think that in addition to teaching children a different language and culture, it is also important to guide them in learning to embellish their lives with an inclusive mentality and rich imagination.
