fiction? Get ready for a fresh encounter with hearts, kidneys, brains,
bones, zombie potions, zombie snails and more! As we make our
own slime molds, oozing blisters, fake glowing blood, organs and
other gross experiments we’ll learn about how the human body
works. Find out what our intestines do, how sticky mucus protects
us, conduct tests to identify bacteria, and even perform simulated
brain and heart surgery. At the end of our zany, fun biology
week we’ll roll up our sleeves and get messy with the cow eyeball
dissection!

Charcoal Portraits and Caricature Drawings
Learn to draw life-like charcoal portraits or action packed

description, or imitation of a person or thing in which certain
striking characteristics are exaggerated in order to create a comic
or grotesque effect”. In other words, you will learn how to draw
a caricature that looks like the person, is exaggerated to varying
degrees, and most importantly, says something about the person
you are drawing. Students need to bring to class a Newsprint 11” x

Introduction to Digital Photography and
Photoshop
This class is for beginning photographers. Bring your digital
camera to class and prepare to learn the basic techniques and
artistry required for good photography. You will learn about
composition, lighting, cameras and lenses, as well as how to use
Adobe Photoshop software to make simple improvements to your
photographs. The course also will cover a few advanced Photoshop
techniques. The emphasis will be on applying the science of
photography to express your artistry.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Intermediate Photoshop
This class will enable students to explore their own personal
creative vision. They will experiment with light painting, light
drawing, night photography, photographing ghosts, and
panoramic photography. The course will also cover the techniques
needed to photograph the moon, star trails, lightning, and
fireworks.
This class will pick up where the “Introduction to Photoshop” and
“Introduction to Digital Photography and Photoshop” classes
left off. The class is participant-driven and you will determine
the techniques and effects you wish to learn. After a brief
discussion of topics that are of interest to all the class, a series
of demonstrations will be set up to improve your knowledge of
Photoshop. Be prepared to bring your favorite tip or technique,
as this is a class where we will all learn from each other. Topics
covered may include: working with layers, color correcting, and
photo montages. No computer knowledge is necessary, although
it is helpful. The material presented will be applicable to both Mac
or Windows Intel-based computers.
