2010 Classes to be announced!
Digital Photography with Laurie Knowlton
March 3,10, 17 2010 10-1
Digital Photography course for beginning or amateur photographers using “point and shoot” or DSLR cameras and Photoshop Elements (or your own camera’s software). The course will be tailored to attendee’s interests and needs. In the first three weeks, we will cover camera settings and functions as well as composition tricks that the pros use. We will then move on to downloading and organizing your photographs using whichever software you have. Weeks 4 and 5 will cover editing and producing the final picture, and we will wrap the series up covering flash usage and how best to photograph your own art work.
Handouts will be provided for each class so you can concentrate on learning and not taking notes! If you have a laptop, it would be great to bring it to the three weeks we’ll be working on downloading or editing. I will have 2 extra Apple (Mac) laptops for the class to use. Please bring your camera manual and software to each class if you have it. I will also be available for consultation before, during, and after the course, as well as a complimentary refresher class if you need it.

It’s on the Palette© Workshop points of consideration:
Building a painting while considering paint quality
Creating form while considering paint viscosity
Structural aspects of a painting, both physical and optical
Color theory concepts
Project assignments in color theory concepts are designed to encourage an
artist’s decision-making process and challenge the development of critical painting skills. These assignments are approached within given parameters, such as painting with restricted palettes for the purpose of learning about creating spatially meaningful tonal relationships within a painting.
