NEW COURSE STARTS March 17, 2025
See how many striking ideas you can discover with iPad apps.
This rendition of Art on the iPad focuses on apps and other resources for design using your tablet — For APPLE iPad basic instructions, links will take you to Apple’s excellent tutorials and guides. As with other versions, I have updated links and apps to reflect changes. Since many apps now require subscriptions, much has changed, so this update is helpful even for returning students. We will also have an optional live ZOOM discussion on Thursdays at 1:00 PM Central. Beginners can ask for extra help via phone, text or email. Repeating students receive deep discounts.
What you'll learn:
Week 1: Use the short cuts and organization tools built into your iPad, to make files, take screen shots, get photos and art imaages in and out of your iPad. (And how this class works, how to interact, etc.)
Week 2: Improve your photographs with built in and purchased apps using tips and tricks of photo editing, plus how to use several must-have photo special effects apps.
Week 3: Draw, paint and make art journals using your iPad, great skills for travel journals and daily drawings when paper is not an option! Use photos as source material, draw "on top," then lose the photo leaving only your sketch.
Week 4: Make interesting pattern designs with your iPad: kaleidoscope designs, tiled and tesselations, and abstracted photo designs. This week you'll learn also to print on fabric using an inkjet printer.
Week 5: More New Apps: AI magic, simple cutouts, and more (also a section for EXTRAS, ideas and apps students request).The course is evergreen with unlimited access once you are signed up, ongoing feedback and discussions, phone and email support, and lots of videos, step-by-step tutorials.

What participants say about Susie's iPad courses:
I loved this class. It was presented in such a way that I was comfortable choosing which of the many apps you presented that interested me, and could go into as much depth as I wanted to or had time for. You responded quickly to questions so I didn’t get “stuck”. Your research provided a great selection of apps to choose from for a variety of different artists with different interests, goals, and skill levels. The preview information and activities were very helpful to me and laid the groundwork for me to successfully understand how this internet class worked. Thank you!

It's been a real pleasure learning about these things, and rethinking some of my definitions about art-making! I so appreciate all the time and efforts on your part to put this together, and I'm so glad I took a plunge and decided to sign up with something I knew nothing about! I will definitely be repeating the class
Joan Diamond, New Jersey
Susie - Many thanks for a terrific class! Going through the myriad and plethora of apps has been a bit like drinking from a fire hose, having an idea of what's available has been very useful. Some of the concepts learned from the apps, such as layering, have already given me insights about how to use Photoshop Elements better.
Elizabeth Byrom, Ambroise, France I
really enjoyed the interaction with the other students. It is very helpful to see their work and what apps they are comfortable with. There were a few apps I never tried as I was trying to concentrate on Procreate, pixlr and Megaphoto. Those were my favorites. I hope to go back to them and see what I was missing. Continuing on with the text course and possibly the collage one.
