In this age of technology we learn children how to express their creative ideas using digital drawing and editing tools.
With Photoshop for teenagers we enable youngsters to create those cool ( and sometimes weird-) imagery, but more importantly, they grow the skills needed to create and communicate. It allows them to quickly grasp digital graphic design concepts in an environment that is theirs.
Every class we start with explaining tools and concepts. Students then receive individualized instructions tailored to their own skill level, learning new techniques and exploring the concepts in greater depth as their understanding improves. Using a variety of themed tutorials we expand the artistic possibilities and we allow a child to explore different but similar techniques.
Photoshop is powerfull software and the learning curve can be a bit steep at times. Rest assured that our instructor knows how to simplify where needed and empowers students while having fun at it.
