Sign-up begins Sept 15th, Ruskin Branch Library
One Dickman Dr SE, or 813.273.3652

Jump into a hands-on introductory workshop in three parts that is focused on integrating drawing, painting, printmaking and photographic processes-- with digital media using Adobe PhotoShop/Elements. We will begin with a basic introduction to PhotoShop as a medium as well as a tool—and an ultimate collage machine. Then we’ll move to explore a range of digital processes and exploratory approaches to creating montage compositions, ending with a printed piece.

Experiment with compositions that may become works in digital form, or the basis of studies to develop in other media. Bring a sketchbook to start—a small drawing or drawing fragment, if you have it—and we’ll gather our sources along the way.
