Style Shop Students’ Fun with Photoshop

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

It’s been a hectic week in Style Shop! As we introduce many brand-new students to the concepts of sewing, drawing,

Halima & her new shirt

and screen printing, many of our returning students have jumped back into using Photoshop. With just a little refresher in the concepts and ideas behind using such a complex computer program, students have been able to create their own one-of-a-kind images.

We don’t stop there, though. The next step is to take these images and use them to create truly unique articles of clothing. Check out Halima and her design creations here!

Introducing Field Trip Heroes!

Thursday, September 15th, 2011

“The field trips I’ve been on with Workshop Houston have been awesome. We have been to the aquarium; it was cool because we were exploring wonders with different types of creatures.  We have also been camping during the summer.  I had to explore inside a cold cave, all scary and slippery.  We also climbed the enchanted rock. The view from the top was unbelievable.  I have been on so many interesting field trips and have been learning at the same time.  It all happened here at Workshop Houston.” - Pedro, Workshop Houston participant, 8th grade

For only $10, you can send students like Pedro on fun, educational trips every week! Learn more here!
