Photoshop is a fantastic digital drawing and painting program with capabilities that range from drawing with pencil-like precision to painting with bold expressionistic strokes. Incorporating participants’ own photography, we will work with a variety of digital collage techniques and combine them with painting and drawing. We will explore a vast array of digital tools and brushes, working with layers, selections, blending modes, layer styles, filters, and masking. We will also look at the work of contemporary artists like Maggie Taylor, John Paul Caponigro, Olivia Parker, and many other digital art pioneers. Work on the computers in AVA’s Digital Arts Media Lab or bring your own laptop with Photoshop.
