Want to learn the basics of Photoshop? Need a quick recap on the tools? Eager to learn some cool tips and tricks? This is the course for you! In these classes, we will go over the tools and functions of Adobe Photoshop. We will learn how to manipulate images, create your own logo, and draw your own illustrations (without the use of a tablet). Students will get to learn from a professional storytelling artist, and receive tips and tricks that are used in the field of visual communication.
--This class is entirely online. --Students will receive a link once weekly to an instructional video to be completed at their own pace. --Once weekly, students will meet for a live feedback/Q&A session with the instructor via Zoom. This time will be determined by the instructor, and students will be notified via email. --This class includes a subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud.
Learn the basics of drawing complicated things with emphasis on storytelling. Students will learn to draw hands, feet, and eyes, people, setting, and machinery, all while learning to tell a story with their art. This is a 4-week class; each week will focus on a different type of "hard stuff" to draw. Each week a new instructional video will be posted by our instructor. Once weekly the instructor will also conduct a live session for all students to ask questions and get feedback on their work.
Please watch your email for links to the videos and live feedback sessions.
