Hi there! I am here seeking some help. I am a primary years teacher ( teaching computer across the school from ages 5 - 13). My part time passion is Digital Art : Photoshop mainly, but I dabble a bit in Poser, Vue and Freehand. Anyway... my love of Digital Art has filtered into my teaching with kids (which is an amazing journey!)and our school has purchased Photoshop Elements for our entire computer suite. I want kids to explore this media as another vehicle for self expression and creativity. I buy every Photoshop and Digital art magazine I can and have trolled through the huge depths of online tutorials for any task, project, activity that uses Photoshop (Elements if possible) and that would be manageable for students about 10 -13 yrs. ( You know the sort of stuff kids love to do - simple processes, but results in terrific effects .. using a photo, graphic, design etc.) My collection is growing, but I would love to gather ideas from anyone who has a suggestion or would like to send me a simple tutorial to try. THANKS IN ADVANCE .... Jan :-)
