How to Work with Canva

(Even If You’ve Never Touched It Before)

Welcome to the magical doorway where your imagination meets design, no experience needed.

Canva is a free, web-based design tool that allows anyone, yes, anyone, to create beautiful visual projects without needing to be a graphic designer. Think of it as your digital sketchbook, mood board, collage studio, and creative altar all in one. Whether you’re layering your own mythic collage, designing a vision board, or adding your personal touch to one of our templates, Canva lets you drag, drop, resize, and remix with ease.

You can use it right from your browser (no downloads needed), and within minutes,

you'll be moving images, adding text, changing colors, and crafting something uniquely your own.

Getting Started with Canva

Here’s how to begin:

  1. Create a Free Canva Account


    Go to www.canva.com

    and sign up using your email address or Google account.
    (Optional: Upgrade to Pro for extra features like background remover,

    premium fonts, and more—but the free version is perfect for this course.)

  2. Open the Project Link
    You’ll receive a custom link to the Canva template or collage worksheet designed just for this lesson.

  3. Click it, then hit “Use Template” or “Customize this design.”
