Our Digital Art class will teach you the basics of turning your drawn artwork into a digital image.

The Digital Storytelling classes will teach you how to edit your personal videos, add music and sounds, upload to the internet and burn to cd/dvd. This class is great for all you Football or Basketball parents, new parents, grandparents, boxers, musicians, Seniors for your senior projects, Elders and more to be able to add more “oomph” to your videos.

And the Digital Scrapbooking class will teach you how to scan your photos, add them to a digital collage, add stickers or stamps to them and personalize them, add sounds and music and share them with your friends and family over the internet or on disc. This class is great for everyone such as new moms and grandmothers showing off their bundles of joy, artists to display and showcase their work, dads trying to sell his priceless vehicle, or children to make their parents or grandparents a unique and personal gift. If you are interested in learning how to do digital scrapbooking, please bring 5-10 personal pictures with you to learn how to scan and use! (They will return home with you after the class. )

I would also like to add that these classes may sound a little intimidating, but they are all Beginner Courses! Anyone can do this! So be sure to check it out. They will be alot of FUN!
