Looking at Photoshop (or FREE Photopea) for the first time can be overwhelming, but in this easy introduction, I will show you the basics. In this course, learners will go from absolute beginner to being able to do basic photo editing, make fun collages, and complete simple graphic design projects. ⭐New to Outschool? Message me before you enroll!!!⭐ NOTE: During the regular school year, check out this on-going class instead. → https://outschool.com/classes/photoshop-101-on-going-MoFGu8e8?usid=xT93q5Wy&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link Mastering a digital art program takes a combination of technical and artistic skills, so this a great class for learners that have some level of ability to use a computer (downloading pictures, using a mouse or drawing tablet, etc.) and some interest in photography, digital art, or technology. My goal is to create a fun, creative learning environment where students can comfortably learn about Photoshop, bring their imagination to life, and share their digital art with one another. It is easier for students to share what they are doing and get help if Photoshop or Photopea is being used on the same computer running Zoom. Please check your device to make sure that Zoom's screensharing permissions are enabled. Class structure: Students will be provided a set of photos to edit in the classroom log-in page. Students with a little more Photoshop experience may substitute their own photos. Students must have already downloaded the photos and know which folder they were downloaded to, before class begins. Each class will begin with a review, followed by a teacher demonstration of how to use some new Photoshop tools. The Camp will culminate in each student completing a creative project, independently. Day 1: Improving your Photos & Saving a Damaged Photo Introductions Intro to the work space Opening & Saving files Photo cropping Image color adjustments: Color correction, Contrast Tools: Clone stamp, Healing stamp, Spot Healing Day 2: Combining Images Intro to Selections & the Magic wand tool Drawing with the Brush tool Layers & layer opacity Transformations & resizing Day 3: Making a Greeting Card Making a new file Pixels and resolution Lasso & Marquee Selection tools & selection practice Tools: Fill, Gradient, Text Layer Blending Options Day 4: Creative Project -- Photocollage Junk Robot Magnetic Lasso Tool Filters Day 5: Creative Project -- Photocollage Magical Creature Cut, Copy, Paste Transformations PRE-REQUISITE: Students should know the basics of computer operation before registering for this class.

I hold a Bachelors in Fine Art from Virginia Tech and a Masters in Art Education from Virginia Commonwealth University. I taught digital art as a public high school teacher and as an adjunct university professor; now I enjoy teaching digital art to students online. I love teaching drawing, painting, sculpture and Photoshop to learners of all ages. I've been teaching for 20+ years and running my own piano studio for 10+ years. There's a special place in my heart for creative works and the artists that make them, especially fantasy stories and narrative artworks, comics and graphic novels.
