InterArts Media Project

For the InterArts Media course, my project will center around using Adobe Photoshop to create digital paintings. I've had about 8 years of experience using photoshop with a graphics tablet to create images, but I'd like to be able to use this course as an exploratory means to delve into the program more, try new techniques, and use aspects of the program I haven't before.

As far as conceptual ideas go, I know that I want to create a body of about five images that make use of the human figure. But I don't want to constrain myself necessarily by creating a cohesive "style", because I want to explore color palettes and drawing styles.

For tools I have at my disposal, there are many photoshop forums and tutorials available online,  graphics magazines, the photoshop magazine, art communities, and digital art books are going to be very useful.
