Photoshop Tutorials

Working with students at all levels of ability makes life fun and interesting.  Sometimes, it makes things a little tricky as well. Like teaching Photoshop. But this year I am determined to change this by creating a series of tutorials for my students to use.

I am fully aware that my videos are lame. However, if they can help my students learn how to use Photoshop, then being the creator of sad videos is worth it.

Yes, I am sure that there are some fantastic videos out there that I could purchase.. the problem is that they are not created for what I need!

So far I have 19 videos made and they are working. While I still have to answer some basic questions about Photoshop every.single.time, the productivity level of my students has skyrocketed.

Feel free to use my tutorials to learn photoshop.. and if you have something specific you would like to learn how to do.. send me an email! emilymclemore@yahoo.com and I'll make a video for you!

Art 2 Self Portraits

As we get to spring break, I'm trying to clean up my room, my files and get students to finish up artwork!

Part of this clean up is updating my website, my artsonia site and just general publicity stuff for the kids.

Animoto gives me a chance to make 30 second videos for free, so here are some of the self portraits that students have completed recently.

[Click on Art 2 Self Portraits to see the video..]

I can only include like 12 pictures in the video, so these videos are just representative works. It hard, I'd like to include everyone's work, but I don't want to pay for the animoto membership!! :)

If you want to see more of the work, make sure to check out my artsonia site!
