Adobe Illustrator is a professional vector graphics editor.
It offers multiple features:
Creation of logos, signs, and other elements of corporate identity.
Preparing layouts for printing.
Designing icons and interface for apps.
Creating and editing vector images.
Who are the classes suitable for? The student must have good computer skills. He or she must be able to use a browser, open new tabs, download and install files on a computer, create and rename folders, know the keyboard layout well, type, use hotkeys, and confidently control the mouse. We recommend these classes for children over 10 years old.
The program needs to be installed on your computer to start learning.
What will the child learn in these classes? In Illustrator lessons, children learn the principles of working in a vector editor and its logic. Vector graphic is a new type of graphics that many students have never encountered before. Our course is a great way to acquaint students with these graphics.
In this course, students learn howto find the fastest and most efficient ways to achieve their goals. In addition to understanding the program, they learn the basic concepts necessary for design activities: the basic theory of color, composition, working with fonts and shapes.
Through these lessons, children will be able to create their own icons and logos, design websites, applications and games, make their own layouts for printing, draw in the flat style, create their own sticker packs and much more.

Introduction to the program
The student will learn what the program is for and what projects can be created in it, what is vector graphics and its scope. He will also get acquainted with the program interface, complete his first projects in the form of small illustrations and get used to using layers.
• Interface • Working with layers • Geometric figures

Drawing and illustration
Here are selected projects that will more broadly show the process of creating illustrations and their style. They will also present additional functions of the program used by professional artists to speed up the work process or create unusual effects. After successfully mastering this module, the student will be able to create his illustrations of any complexity. These projects can also be carried out using a Graphics Tablet.

Basic level
The student gets acquainted and practices working with basic tools: Pen Tool, Blend Tool, drawing tools. He also creates and paints with different brushes. After this level, the student will be able to create their own simple illustrations or to design layout of album covers, posters, etc.
As a result of passing this level, the student will be able to create not only design layouts of printed products (business cards, calendars, etc.), but also create a design for social media, networks. At this stage, the student gets to know more about working with text, creating logos and developing icons.
• Business card • Icons • Working with text and fonts • Logo
3
Main functions
The student will learn how to create his own patterns, work with text, use clipping masks, trace images, create and apply graphic styles, use the perspective grid and other advanced tools of the program. As a result of studying this level, the student will be able to create and implement medium and complex projects.
• Fluffy text • Megapolis • Creating a simple pattern • Lighthouse
• Toucan • Deep blue sea • How to create a character from the movie "Star Wars"
• Business card • Neon text • Cosmic icons
• Lighthouse • 3D character • Text: Hole effect • Volumetric text
