iPhone and iPad Art Creative Vision

Theresa Airey

iPhone/iPad ART Workshop: Creative vision at its best!

Remember the days of Polaroid Instant film and Time Zero manipulations that gave you instant gratification?  Well, that is a little like what iPhone/iPad photography does.  The apps are incredibly creative and easy to use and very ingenious. You can take a shot and apply an app and have a unique image almost instantaneously. 

Of course how you apply them and mix the various apps is another story. Blending of difference apps to an image takes more time but it is fun and it is innovative. I am always astonished at the different ways each of our minds work and the different directions it can go when given a bag of artistic options such as “apps”.

To me, iPhone/iPad apps are just another tool in my toolbox to create images.  There are no rules that say you can’t take an image created with an app into Photoshop and take it one or two steps further. These are all tools to be used to arrive at a final image.  How you got there, no one cares, it is the final image that counts. 

In this workshop we will take shots with our iPhones and/or cameras --a good “point and shoot” camera is just fine and I can highly recommend the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS10 for outstanding performance and great shots.  This workshop will concentrate on “creativity” and “vision” not on technical aspects of a professional camera. You will learn some technical aspects of iPhone/iPad art such as transferring of images to and from your computer and to and from the iPhones to the iPad. Also how to organize and make albums, downloading apps, syncing your devices to your computer and learn which apps are high res and which are not-- plus how to increasing te resolution of low res files in Photoshop.

W ith he iPhone we will work with the apps directly in the field or wait till we get back to the Formulary. You do not need an iPad; you can work directly on the phone’s screen with the apps.

For those of you who also have iPads, we will transfer the images from the iPhones or from the camera and work on the larger screen of the iPad (easier on the eyes). Most of the apps are compatible in both the iPhone and the iPad.
