Photoshop has come a long way since its first appearance as colour correction software. Today, artists are using the medium to create stunning digital artwork of their own including digital abstractions. Photoshop's broad array of tools, filters and techniques opens the door to unlimited creative possibilities. In this IN-PERSON course, students will be introduced to Photoshop's creative potential through studio demonstrations and assigned projects to create abstract art. Final class output will be available for viewing on Instagram, Facebook and other social media.
Note: Students should have a basic knowledge of Mac/PC computers. Basic Exposure to Adobe Photoshop is helpful, but not essential.
