the interest of full disclosure - is starting to offer
introductory classes on open source multimedia software as a
supplement to their usual classes using Adobe Photoshop and
other proprietary software.</p>

"crash course" on 3D animation basics using Blender: <a

willing to give a presentation on some of what she goes over in
the class. Is this something we'd be interested?</p>

class actually begins, but since this semester's Blender crash
course takes place over the next few weeks, that's not going to
happen. However, they'll be teaching the class again next
semester, and if there's enough interest, similar classes may be
offered with GIMP et al.</p>
