There are times when it is necessary to break the rules. In art, we have the freedom to make creative choices that push the boundaries and explore new ways of expressing creativity.
In this course, students will be exposed to the various tools and functions in Adobe Photoshop and how to use them in unorthodox ways. Students will be given the freedom to explore a range of selection tools, brushes, healing tools, filters, and more to alter their images. This class will allow you to experiment with various creative structures to enhance your images and/or manipulate them. This class will enable you to feel much more comfortable with the basics of Photoshop, while also learning to take hold of your creative freedom and exercise your curiosity.
