General Outline of a Lesson Plan for each Weekly Session


Each session consists of mainly three parts:


Part I

Looking at your edited photographs (homework based on the theme of the previous week), discussing what tools you used and suggesting ways to improve them. At the same time, I will be answering your questions helping you to make your first journey to Photoshop as easy as possible.

 

Part II

Explaining and demonstrating the new weekly theme. You will be applying in practice step by step what has been demonstrated and with my help, you will be able to understand and further practise every single aspect of each technique.

 

Part III

Summing up the main ideas, which were discussed during the previous parts and discussing the nature of your next homework.



  


Handouts 

At the the end of each weekly session, I will be sending you e-handouts by email.
