Pre-College: Foundations of Photoshop for Photography Grades 9-12

In this class students in grades 9-12 will learn the basic building block tools of Adobe Photoshop. Through lecture, demonstration, and student experimentation, students will leave with a well rounded knowledge of how Photoshop works and how to manipulate images to really pop and become fully realized and unique pieces of art.  A few preselected digital images will be provided by the instructor to use to learn and test image editing skills. Students should bring at least 3 self-shot images they can edit that can be used as portfolio pieces to showcase their editing skills. Expect to have guidance from the instructor and some creative freedom. There will be some critique; expect be challenged to refine your skills and techniques.
