D) “A Digital Transfer Sampler” ** - Kathy Anderson: Explore a range of mostly low-tech and nontoxic methods of transforming digital images into works of fine art, both 2-D & 3-D. Participants are encouraged to bring digital images of their own to experiment with during this 2 session workshop.
E) “Building Your Audio Toolbelt” - Phil Ogden: Structured around using audio files in creative presentations. Audio file managing and editing, combining materials from different sources, copyrighting, and searching out free tools are topics to be covered.
