Coming in 2010 are a few changes to Alma and Mike's classes. Here's how it will go:
Each season (winter, spring, summer, fall) we will offer one each of our full courses, which include Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. (This winter, we'll have Illustrator in January, Photoshop in February, and InDesign in March).
In addition to these full courses, we will be offering some mini courses, which will change throughout the year. Some of these courses will build on concepts that you've already learned in our 101 classes. Some will be courses that you can take without having taken another class. These classes will generally be held for 2.5 hours during one evening session on a weekday and will cost $45 each.
In Winter 2010, you can expect the following mini courses:
"Illustrator: Valentine's Day Cards and Gifts": The Christmas Cards and Gifts was such a success at the Art Weekend, that we wanted to bring you this opportunity to take the class during our regular curriculum! This class will include a whole new set of Valentine's Day specific artwork. Together we'll put together a photo card, and a set of unique, personal Valentine's Day cards. (Think of how cool your kid will be when they show up at school with their very own personalized Valentine's Day cards! You'd be a bad parent not to take this class!) More details and examples to come! Be excited. Be very excited! (You can leave your email address here if you're interested in being notified when more info is available and registration is open.)
"Photoshop.com": You've complained, and we've listened. Let's face it. For some of you out there, Photoshop is 1) too expensive and 2) too complicated for what you really need to do. If you want to learn a photo editing program because you just want to crop and fix up your personal photos, if you want to know the tricks and tips to making a blah photo into a wow photo, if your life is fulfilled having never learned about "actions" or "layer masking," then this class is for you! In one session, Mike will give you all the tools and know-how to use Adobe's FREE photo editor at photoshop.com. Please check back for details! (You can leave your email address here if you're interested in being notified when more info is available and registration is open.)
Our new full course is InDesign 101, which will continue throughout the year, depending on its success in March. So if you're interested in learning this program, let us know! In our 2-hour class at the Art Weekend, we were able to make a spread. Learn this and more about InDesign's capabilities at our crash course! Info to be posted soon! (You can leave your email address here if you're interested in being notified when more info is available and registration is open.)
