This workshop is for photographers and artists who want to make images that
reveal their imagination, passion and vision.

Accessing ideas, planning visual projects and learning essential power tools in Photoshop will be our focus. With projected demonstrations and inspiration from a collection of artists` images, we will review creative ways to tell stories, interpret dreams, execute assignments and explore personal invention through digital art. Composition, symbolism, emotion and message will be themes we address as a group.

Then, using Photoshop`s powerful layers, masks, selection and adjustment tools, you will see how to prepare elements, compose the frame, merge images, create depth and alter pictorial perception. Bring along any materials and digital projects you want to share, discuss, explore or refine. Participants receive a CD and content booklet to increase their learning beyond the workshop. This workshop is designed for intermediate and advanced level participants familiar with Photoshop`s basic tools, layers, and selection methods. Whether you are a dabbler or a working professional, you will find this workshop uniquely rewarding.
