Students will learn the basics of photo manipulation and editing. Basic use of the GIMP photo editing software will be discussed, and students will create a variety of projects, including Dream worlds, posters, and art movement portraits. If there is an interest in illustration, the Inkscape vector illustration software will be discussed. Students will use photographs and illustrations to create posters, patterns, and icons. This is NOT a tablet drawing class. A drawing tablet is recommended, but NOT required, depending on the student’s interest(s) — students may share the tablets provided or use the mouse.
