1st Blog Post

Hello Photoshop class!  You first blog post you will need to do the following:

Use the internet to find some digital artists that use Photoshop to create their artwork.  You need to find 10 websites that feature digital artists and or Photoshop professionals.  You can search for digital art, digital artists, Photoshop artists, digital printmakers and anything else you can think of.  Tell me why you picked the site and if you like or disliked the art and why.  Link each website up to your post.

When you are done, link you blog up to this one!

Here is an example of a great digital artist, Paul Biddle.

Spice up your blog!

If you check out Mrs. Riehle's personal blogs you will notice that I have some different backgrounds than what you can have with the standard plain old blogger.  So if you are looking for something fun you can google blogger templates or blog backgrounds or you could go here:
