Advanced Photoshop students create artwork for Rosemount City Hall
Students in Connie Larson’s Advanced Photoshop class grabbed their digital cameras and took a ton of photos for an art project commissioned by the city of Rosemount, Minn. The best photos were blown up, mounted and hung on the walls of city hall. Visit the Rosemount city Web site to learn more about Mayor William Droste presenting the Rosemount city council commendation to Larson as well as three students who participated on the projects, Joyce Ludwig, Karen Ramsell and Alicia Witherill.
“My students had a wonderful time on this service-learning project,” said Larson, who is a graphic design technology instructor in the college’s Visual Communications department. “They also employed their Photoshop skills to create a huge composite mural that was printed on fabric for display.”
Service-learning projects allow students to expand and hone their professional knowledge and skills under real-world conditions, working with businesses, nonprofits, civic organizations and individuals for the betterment of the community as a whole.
