The Gnomon Workshop

http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com

This is a site that some of you may already be familiar with. For those of you in the dark, the Gnomon Workshop is a website that offers professional-grade training on numerous software applications, such as Photoshop, Maya, 3Ds Max, Shake, and ZBrush. Classes are also available on subjects ranging from sketching and painting, to storyboarding and character design.

The software workshops are instructed by art professionals, many of whom work for visual effects studios, such as ILM. The classes are available on mail-order DVD and for digital download.

These resources are great for any New Media students looking to augment their digital art skills, especially those interested in 3D animation, or game design.

I recently ordered Photoshop for Digital Production from this website and I'm avidly trying to obtain additional funding, in order to purchase more of these workshops. All of the discs will be available for students to screen and borrow from the CML. I'm also hoping to teach some advanced seminars on the workshop material.

I strongly encourage anyone who is interested in art to take a look at this website. There are numerous previews and free tutorials available.
