VISUAL COMMUNICATIONS AT BUENA PARK HS

In Visual Communications you become the designer in this project based class. 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade students welcome. Learn to use Photoshop, Illustrator and the i Mac computer on an advanced level. No prior experience is necessary. You create logo designs, a hot sauce label, magazine ads, movie posters, original color illustrations and a striking self-portrait of yourself! This is a year-long class and it does give elective credits and satisfy your fine arts requirement needed for graduation. And virtually no homework, since the projects are created during class time. I will keep you busy, ensuring you are never bored! See Mrs. Arciba or your BPHS counselor today. Better sooner than later, because this class does fill up quickly.

New students... You have enrolled in a unique class. Visual Communications is a lot like an art class where you work on projects, however in this class you produce your projects using the i mac computer. I am highly skilled using these apple computers, and will be sure you are completely comfortable and quickly become very competent on the computers. We use industry standard software such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Keynote and In Design. I have found a very effective way to teach the software to my students and that is by using custom videos, which I personally make. This enables students to work at their own speed, and to easily catch up should they miss a day of class.
