SAAC to hold Photoshop workshop

The South Arkansas Arts Center is hosting a Photoshop workshop with local award-winning visual artist Mike Means to be held from 6-8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday.

Means is a graphic arts whiz and has taught many classes at SAAC, this being one of his most popular and well-attended. The class will focus on the basics of Photoshop, a program for the editing of photos on the computer. Basic Photoshop for beginners covers navigation through the tools and palettes and basic color correction. Take a fun tour of some neat aspects and filters available to create art or just improve simple pics.

This is a two-night workshop and is geared toward teens or adults wanting to learn Photoshop from the beginning level or further their knowledge of computer photo editing and design.

“Basic Intro to Photoshop is a class for the beginner or refresher for newbies. It’s a cozy, one-on-one class limited to eight people and designed for adults who feel they can’t learn technology,” Means said. “Photoshop is a great tool for photographers and artists. I want you to have fun with Photoshop, it’s easier than you think, so come spend two nights of fun and learning.”

Means teaches computer graphic classes at the SAAC and is an Arkansas Arts Council’s Arts in Education artist. He is a founding member of the local improvisational group “Gimme’ A Second.” Means also is the owner of Creative Means, a framing shop located in downtown El Dorado.

The class will be held in the computer lab at SAAC, 110 E. Fifth St., El Dorado. The workshop costs $40 and space was still available as of Friday afternoon.
