Digital Collage Master Class with Lawrence Nowosad
Join us for our 6-week course of photoshop classes. This class will give participants time to learn the techniques to create intricate and dynamic multi-layered digital images with Photoshop.
The process is explored through hands-on practice where participants learn the practical skills involved in making an art work from a number of source image files, using Photoshop as a dynamic collage making tool.
The course will cover the principles of image resolution and the opportunity to scan drawings, photographs and magazines images to manipulate the scale and incorporate it into a composite image. The course will include how to use masking techniques and layer blending modes as well as adjustment layers, filter effects, etc. There will be demonstations and practical excercises to observe and complete. This evening course will give participants the opportunity to develop, re-think and re-create the artwork between each class on the journey and apply their new knowledge to assist in the completion of the final piece.
Video tutotials of the demonstrations will be made available to participants to assist with the learning process.
Previous experience of Photoshop or a similiar software is advisable to make the most of the course. Edinburgh Printmakers has a number of devices with photoshop you can use, but a reduced 'bring your own devide' ticket is available for participants who can bring their own devide with Photoshop CS5 or later installed.
PLEASE READ: You will see two 18:00 ticket options below. The option on the left is the 'Bring your own device' reduced ticket price, the option on the right is for participants who wish to use a device in the studio.
The final outcome of the course will be to generate Photo quality print size of 42x28cm (or similiar) on fine art paper.
This course is particularly suitable for photographers and artists who want to use photoshop as collage tool for their practice.
