In this programme, students will get to use digital tools in Hīnātore to create their own digital art.

Students will begin by exploring our galleries to understand how artists use different mediums to tell stories through their works. From there they will move to Hīnātore, our Learning Lab, where they will explore different digital art making tools, and choose to tell a story.

Tools can include: stop motion animation, green screen, digital collage, digital model building/sculpting, virtual reality and digital drawing.

If you have certain tools you would like to use, please make sure to mention this when booking your programme, and we will try our best to accommodate this.
