This workshop is for photographers and artists who want to make images that reveal their imagination, passion, and vision. Focus on accessing ideas, planning visual projects and learning essential power tools in Photoshop. With projected demonstrations and inspiration from a collection of artists’ images, review creative ways to tell stories, interpret dreams, execute assignments, and explore personal invention through digital art. Composition, symbolism, emotion, and message are themes addressed as a group.

Using Photoshop’s powerful layers, masks, selection and adjustment tools, learn how to prepare elements, compose the frame, merge images, create depth and alter pictorial perception.
