Course overview The Photoshop for Artists Short Course covers the basics of scanning, importing and collaging images, using layers, text, brushes, stamp and selection tools, vector and shape tools, filters and masking. Split screen, blue screen and other special effect techniques to enhance studio-based photo shoots will also be taught. Alongside this comprehensive technical tuition, to encourage imaginative thinking, students will be exposed to artworks that use documentation playfully, such as Yves Klein’s Leap Into the Void (1960), Hayley Newman’s Connotations Performance Images 1994 -1998 (1998) and Jonathan Borofsky’s Mixed Materials (1970) as well as artists whose works have posed a challenge to document such as that of Christo, Robert Smithson and more. Additionally, we will also look at the work of contemporary artists like Eva Stenram and Liv Pennington who use Photoshop as an integral part of their work.Photoshop for Artists
