I have taught Digital Photography Summer Camps for older kids & teens for the last 7 years. I also teach Photoshop & Advanced Photoshop  in a California Community college setting for highschool & college age groups each semester during the school year, as well as a modified for kids version of a similar illustration class as a Summer Camp for jr.high age group - highschool. 

My personal experience is that I am a professional artist & also enjoy teaching as an art based technology instructor. I have  BA  Degrees in Media arts /  Digital Media Communications & have worked as professional Graphic Artist / Photographer for 20 years. 

I am offering this class as a unique offering because suddenly I am finding myself teaching ALL my Digital Arts classes online & am currently home due to the nationwide school shut-down. I have 3 elementary aged children and have been putting them in all sorts of cool classes, when it occurred to me that I could share my illustration course to lots of artist who are jr.high & highschool age kids & teens who may also be currently affected by the school shut - down.
