What they learn in Junior
Each level covers the four key digital design disciplines with increasing depth by age — raster, vector, 3D, and animation.
Digital illustration with GIMP
Photo editing, layers, masks, composition, retouching. The same techniques pro illustrators use — a free and complete alternative to Photoshop. Your child creates their first digital illustration with light, shadow, and atmosphere.
Vector design with Inkscape
Logos, icons, posters, and scalable vector graphics. Same quality as Illustrator, no cost. They learn shapes, paths, typography, and color palettes. Output: a personal logo ready for print and digital.
3D + Animation with Tinkercad and Wick
3D modeling in Tinkercad: printable figures, scenes, characters. 2D animation in Wick Editor: 15–20-second animated shorts, motion graphics. Each discipline finishes with a real project.
Junior program structure
Mariana Ortiz · Junior teacher · CENTRO
Module 1 — Digital illustration with GIMP
Digital image fundamentals, layers, masks, retouching, and composition. Your child creates their first digital illustration of a character or scene.
Module 2 — Vector design with Inkscape
Logos, icons, vector posters. Learn to work with shapes, paths, and typography. Output: a personal logo or one for an imaginary brand.
Module 3 — 3D modeling with Tinkercad
Build 3D figures by combining primitives. Output: a printable object (crown, keychain, character) ready for a 3D printer.
Modules 4–5 — Animation + Final project
2D animation in Wick Editor: 15-second animated short. Final project combines 2 disciplines of choice — ready for the portfolio.
Your Junior teacher
Mariana teaches Inkscape and GIMP patiently. Camila went from doodling in notebooks to having her first professional logo. Every class brings a finished piece — worth it just for the motivation.

What parents say
Camila always doodled in notebooks. In 3 months with Junior she already made her first logo in Inkscape, a GIMP-edited illustration, and a printable 3D character. She has a real digital portfolio at age 11.

Tomás moved from Roblox to designing his own 3D characters in Tinkercad for home printing. The teacher taught him that design isn't just pretty — there are rules. Very different from YouTube tutorials.

Sofía made her first 20-second animated short in Wick Editor. She showed it at school and now all her friends want to do digital design. It's a huge change for a shy girl.

FAQ
No. Most kids arrive with no prior design software experience. Classes teach composition, color, and tool use step by step — no need to draw well by hand.
5 modules + final project, about 8–9 months with one class per week. Each module covers one discipline: illustration (GIMP), vectors (Inkscape), 3D (Tinkercad), animation (Wick), and integrated final project.
We use GIMP (free Photoshop alternative), Inkscape (free Illustrator alternative), Tinkercad (3D modeling), and Wick Editor (2D animation). All professional and free — no Adobe fees.
After Junior, the natural next step is Senior Design (13–17): 10 modules going deep into advanced illustration, visual identity, 3D modeling, and pro animation. The portfolio grows to be ready for design university.
A laptop or computer with internet — that's it. Mouse beats touchpad for Inkscape and GIMP. A graphic tablet isn't required at this age — if your child later specializes, a basic $1,500 MXN tablet is enough.
Live online classes. Two formats: 1-on-1 of 60 minutes (1–3 times per week) or a mini-group of 4 students for 90 minutes (once per week). Same teacher throughout the course.
