My daughter enjoyed the class and learned a lot about Photoshop. This was her first time using Photoshop and so by taking a full day it was helpful therefore she was able to bring home new art pieces every day. By the end of the week, she learned enough to feel confident in using the basic tools of Photoshop herself but there's still many techniques to discover.
