Online Classes

Well, I have two great online upcoming classes coming up.
And the best part is that you can take a class with me in the comfort of your own home in your jammies!

Everyday Photography
Begins Tomorrow, September 29th
(but will remain open for student for 5 weeks)

Digital Photography is an amazing tool if you know how to use the camera. There are so many buttons and sometimes it is hard to just figure out what to do just to get a good picture.
This course will cover all the basics you need to get started with your digital camera as well as some tips to get the best shots you can. We will cover all the automatic settings, what all those little symbols mean and when to use them. Also, we will discuss in detail how to use light to your advantage in terms of your camera settings as well as the placement of your subject. whether you have a simple digital point and shoot or a DSLR, this course will cover all you need to successfully operate without looking at your user manual.
Photography doesn't have to be difficult. I will explain in instructional slide shows or videos how to make your digital camera your best friend and get the pictures you want.
This class will include slide shows or videos, photo tutorials, sample projects, student art galleries, discussion forums, scheduled chats and a useful plain English glossary of all those confusing photo terms.

Copic & Scrapbooking
Begins October 20th

Copic Markers are one of the most popular tools in paper crafting these days. Why not incorporate them into your scrapbooking pages?
This class will cover how to use your markers in other ways than just coloring to create stunning, vibrant layouts. I will walk you through all the techniques and show you just how to use those markers in tons of new ways.
Join me for this 3 week class, where we will cover more than 5 techniques and I will walk you through it all step by step.
This class will include instructional slide shows or videos, photo tutorials, sample projects, student art galleries, discussion forums, scheduled chats, and informational links.


These classes are a great value and the lessons can be reviewed on YOUR schedule.
