Visual Literacy: Adobe Photoshop - Part 1

Engage your students with the exciting visual literacy techniques taught and explored by Chemere Birkensleigh in this session. Chemere brings her skills and experience as a Melbourne digital artist developer into the classroom to show you some basic and more advanced techniques used in the media industry with Adobe Photoshop.

In this first of two workshops, you will learn about image size and resolution; how to use masks to reveal and hide different parts of a layer in a non-destructive way to edit your images; adjust image properties so layers look like they belong together; how to colour match and tone using hue and saturation; transform objects with scale, flip and skew; and pushing the design to add emotion to your images by exaggerating colour, size or perspective.

This is for secondary teachers and is an introduction to the 6in6 Adobe design competition coming up for students.

Part 2: May 2, 2012

When: 21 March, 2012 4.30-6.30pm

Where: Victoria University, Flinders Street, Melbourne CBD

Presenter: Chemère Birkensleigh
