Class experience
In this course learners will go from absolute beginner to creating a collage or a scrapbook page using their own digital photos. Photoshop isn’t an intuitive program so I’ve broken it down so learners can at least run this program by the end of 8 classes. By no means will learners master Photoshop in only 8 classes but they will have a great foundation for future study. This is one of the best investments you can make for your learner’s future. It’s an invaluable tool to have in their...

Learners will need access to Adobe Photoshop either through an older program or a new subscription. There is a free first month available to students on the Adobe website. No other program will be taught or can be substituted in this course so they definitely cannot complete this course without this program. They also need a mouse. A graphics table is great to have but they can manage with only a mouse. https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/buy/students.html?sdid=1SQHD8RP&mv=search&ef_id=CjwKCAjwgb6IBhAREiwAgMYKRuUDwlAcMZwPYFAa7a6k2FJBO2Wj6hj6CZjKXD7T6eCjpOxGj6TqeBoCf_kQAvD_BwE:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!3085!3!377775847177!e!!g!!photoshop%20download%20student They will also need a good mouse or a graphic tablet that is already set up and ready to go with Photoshop. Do I have to buy a graphics tablet for my learner? Can they use their ipad and Apple pen for a graphics tablet. To answer your questions I'm going to list two videos about this very topic from two of my favorite Photoshop artists. I spent a lot of hours in Photoshop before I got my first graphics tablet but I wish now that I would have purchased it way sooner than I did! There is a version of Photoshop for the ipad but it's a bit limited and I'm teaching the full version that's been around for 30 years. In this video though he's showing the big version but how to use it on the tablet and a mac (not sure if it will work for pc or not) and utilizing "The Cloud". Message me and I'll send you two very good videos answering these 2 questions.

Nothing more rewarding, as an educator, than to see faces light up with joy after accomplishing something they thought was much too difficult to accomplish! Sometimes, a learner needs to be gently nudged beyond what they think they can do. Tears...
