Well, today I'm embarking on a new chapter in my six years at WAM (correct, I've been at WAM now for six years now). I will be teaching my first computer class this afternoon. Poster Power.
Kind of an lackluster beginning but whatever. It almost didn't come to pass because most of the computer classes were cancelled this week. Yesterday would have actually been the landmark day but to be honest with you I didn't think the class would go through because how many 14 to 16 year olds do you know that have any interest in Poster Power or going green?
I certainly didn't.
I probably would have done this six years or even a year ago because of lack of confidence. But working with Photoshop on more of a regular basis and having some very knowledgeable friends when it comes to Photoshop has helped me in my own continuing education.
Some of the stuff I kind of wish I either learned or listened to in college. Especially things like creating speech balloons which I'm actually finding myself enjoying more and more.
After this, I will actually be doing my first full fledged Computer Comics class in the Spring. I'm really excited about that. Even though they DO have Comic Life at the Museum, I will give them a small demonstration how to create a speech balloon on their own. But it is nice to have that option where they can create a comic using a program.
But I will be certain to all how it goes. But after yesterdays Chaos and Creation Class (i.e. Poster Power for 5 to 7 year olds), I'm actually looking forward to today's class.
