For many of us Photoshop has become more than a post-production tool to repair and enhance our photographs. Photoshop is a visual medium unto itself – a blank canvas from which we can create images beyond the boundaries of conventional photography.
This program will involve hands on Photoshop with demonstrations of techniques geared toward fine art. You’re encouraged to bring a lap top and play along. We’ll also be discussing creative process, inspiration, art history, and concept development. The new digital technologies allows us to create anything we can imagine. Photoshop technique is important, but what will define us as artists is the concept, creativity and impact of our images.
* Photoshop as a fine art medium * Creative process and concept development * Inspiration: where to find it and how to use it
This will be a hands on intermediate Photoshop class. You should be familiar with layers, blending modes, selections and layer masks. But don’t be intimidated – the basics of Photoshop is all you’ll need to follow along. Please bring a laptop loaded with Photoshop and a notebook. We’ll repeat each technique several times and provide time to take notes.
