Digital Collage with Adobe CC and its Free Alternatives
The Tech is Not The Territory with Kim Reinhardt | 4 sessions
10 spots left
Description
Using both the Adobe Creative Cloud Programs (Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign) as well as comparable free, open source apps such as Photopea, GIMP and Inkspace, we will use these digital tools to create expressive collage, patterns, and graphic design. Students will create original drawings by hand, then learn how to add computer-based painting, drawing and color adjustment techniques to create multi-layered artworks. They will walk away with their own printed collages. Because this class teaches both industry standard paid programs, as well as free alternatives, we will explore the variety of digital art tools at our disposal, beyond those that are most popular. With an understanding of these alternative programs, students can be empowered to continue making work independently after the class ends, with fewer cost barriers. This class is appropriate for beginner to intermediate familiarity with art and digital tools. Students can explore independent projects as well as technical exercises. Laptops will be provided during class.

Kimberly lives in New York City and Western Massachusetts. She received her BFA from Cooper Union and has taught widely across art and design programs. Her work has been shown at Feature Inc. in NYC, Pulp Gallery in Holyoke and is currently included in an ongoing, traveling classroom exhibition organized by Darling Green. Reinhardt has been working with the Adobe Creative suite for over 30 years. She is most excited to be developing a curriculum that she hopes will disrupt the monopoly of industry standard surveillance subscription software while also highlighting environmental and nervous system care practices that are traditionally neglected in such courses.
