“We have come to the end of the course. Thank you so much for following it with me. I hope that this learning will be useful to you and that you will enjoy carrying out your project. I leave you below the main steps to follow to complete this project. This can be the triptych you have already started with the exercises or you can create a new one!

To do this, click on the “Create your project” button. I will respond to your posts and questions as soon as possible, but in the meantime, I encourage you to watch what your comrades have been up to and comment on their posts. The creative community is always very constructive and caring. See you soon !”
