ArtVentures - expand your creative vision
You might wonder where to connect to the various art related seminars offered at Renaissance. Wonder no longer! Ivy Hendy has created the artventures.blog as a one-stop website for links to the local Sacramento Arts Scene.
The Heart in Art for Lifelong Learners. Visit often!
Maybe we can suggest events that catch our attention and share with others in RS.

Fall 2019 class is full
Hello, glad you found this space. Why don't you wander around and follow a few links here. You could be surprised and delighted.
The bad news is that this seminar registration has closed. We are full. Sorry about that.
Let me tell you a little secret, this seminar is based on my interest in all things photographic in the Apple ecosystem. I proposed this seminar to the committee and they agreed to list it. Yea! Other folks were interested too. So you want to know more. You want to find outlets to express your creativity, Why not propose a seminar? A good seminar leader is curious, enthusiastic and encourages those qualities in others. Notice I did not say a leader is an "expert" - and I know, I'm no artist!

Multiple Apps - Many Developers
As I am refreshing content for this semester I see so many apps that do similar things but in one way stand out from each other. That is what excites me about supporting a vibrant creative app community in the Apple ecosystem.
The Cheatsheet page on our site is edited often to note the latest discovery about an app or how apps fit into our workflow. I can't keep up with the changes on this page by creating a new PDF. Just keep visiting the Cheatsheet and I hope you will help make it better by adding your own discoveries.

Lynda.com is going away
Well Lynda.com is not going away at all. The company was bought by LinkedIn in 2015 and Microsoft bought LinkedIn in 2016.
What is really changing is how the parent companies are digging into user's personal data. Libraries don't like to expose patron's data. So other online training sources will be researched, reviewed and offered on the Tech Skill Development page for Sacramento Public Library.

Our Galleries
I've selected a few collages for the Spring 2019 Gallery. I was looking for presentations showing a before and after or a workflow of images but here were surprises. There is no audio soundtrack.
Other recent work was posted at Spring 2018 Sample Gallery and 2017 Gallery iPhone Photography Seminar.

Seminar Description
Current details for apps are based on iOS 12.4 and expecting iOS 13 to be released mid-September, just after our class begins.
This seminar is still evolving. This was submitted for Fall 2019:
This seminar includes participant-led demonstrations where experienced photographers use multiple iPhone apps to create print-ready artwork. In-class demonstrations and online shared albums are our critique and learning platforms. This semester we will stylize collages of existing images. Visit our website for activities, demonstration videos, and examples of our artwork at https://rsiphonephotostudio.blogspot.com. New photo artists should expect to purchase $25 in apps. Requirements: iPhone 7, 8, X, XR, XS; iOS 11 or 12, AppleID. An iPad is helpful for editing photos. This is NOT a beginner photography seminar. We continue socializing at lunch after session.
Possible assignments include making collages from your library: 1) shapes, 2) textures, 3) flat colors, 4) color graduations, 5) faces, etc.
These collages will be processed by many apps to see how filters and effects
change the images. For example:
To improve this image workflow we will want to add app and effect names. Easy to do using PicCollage or Apple Markup Extension.
These effect studies will help as we apply styles to existing images.
While on vacation (hey, I'm retired - does vacation ever end?) I picked up some new ideas for printing and projects to share with your friends and family. Exploration, discovery and fun ahead!

Wacky Fall Schedule
My how the time flies. It is time to submit the seminar descriptions for the fall semester. First step is to request the library community rooms. Meeting schedule has been confirmed. Sept 5, 12, 19 and Oct 3, 17, 24.
You will notice some gaps in our six-session pattern. We can discuss how to fill the blanks with possible field trips or just stay with classroom dates.
