Graphic Design (Grades 6-8) - Part 1

This self-paced, online course introduces middle school students to the fundamentals of graphic design in an engaging, creative environment. Students learn the principles of design, including layout, typography, color theory, and visual hierarchy, while developing practical skills in digital illustration and image editing using industry-relevant tools.

Through hands-on projects, students explore how design communicates ideas, tells stories, and solves problems across media. By creating logos, posters, digital art, and more, students build a personal portfolio that showcases their creativity and growing proficiency. This course encourages independent exploration and is ideal for students interested in visual arts, marketing, or digital media. (Semester 1 of 1)

This version of the course is designed for independent learning and is not teacher supported or graded. Parents have the ability to grade assignments, view answer keys, and provide feedback to their child.

We also offer this course as an Accredited Course that includes an official transcript and earned credit, or as an Accredited Course with Mentor Teacher, which adds a dedicated teacher who provides grading, feedback, and ongoing support to guide your student’s success.
