Another of Tom s classes is Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop is taught as a regular nine-weeks class to eighth grade students. Two classes run each quarter. Classes are limited to six students per class due to computer availability and site licensing restrictions. It is taught as an interdisciplinary course in conjunction with both the Technology and Art Classes.
Students learn the use of digital cameras and digital image editing.
Basic instruction lasts for two weeks, and the remaining time is used for advanced instruction and student graphic arts projects. Students who have successfully completed this class may then use the equipment and their expertise in support of other classes or school activities. These students are also prepared to enter the graphic arts segment of the High School Art Curriculum. Andy Nevill made a collage of College Basketball players . Tom also teaches a class on the Stock Market.
