Special requirement: Laptop computers must be brought by the students
(and don't forget the power cord just in case). PC or Mac does not matter.
Basic computer experience is highly recommended. If students own a mouse
or drawing tablet those tools help digital artists immensely, but are not
required. Many students find the "Wacom Intuos Draw" to be an affordable drawing tablet on Amazon for around $50. It is not unusual for students to borrow a family member's computer
for class.
