Photoshop 2: Digital Design & Editing

"Photoshop:  Digital Design & Editing" and "Photoshop 2:  Digital Design & Editing" can be taken in any order.  Both programs develop your knowledge of Photoshop tools, but in different and exciting ways!

Throughout the sessions, students will learn how to use Adobe Photoshop by creating several different projects.  They will progressively learn the different tools within the program and multiple uses and techniques for the tools (including filters, transparency, and layers).  Learning will occur though teacher demonstration videos in the program and group discussion throughout the week in the classroom discussion board.   Students are expected to develop and complete their projects prior to the next session.  

Projects include, but are not limited to:
Photo Restoration
Logo Design
Metaphorical Self Portraits
"Alter Ego" (a play on opposites) 
Painting Manipulation
Master Artist Recreation

Background knowledge is helpful, but not required.  

For homework, students will need to spend between 1 and 2 hours per week developing a final artwork, using the instructions/discussion from the week, that will be provided in a video at the beginning of each week.  Learner progress will be evaluated through in progress photos of their work correspondence with the teacher about progression during the creation process throughout the week.  The teacher will provide individual feedback and guidance as the student works through their projects.  

This is a self-paced class with no live meetings.  Students will be provided videos and instruction for each lesson and skills to practice.  The teacher will provide feedback to student work within a day of posting.   Students are encouraged to pace themselves to one lesson a week, but can spend as much time as needed to complete the projects.
