About the new Photoshop Masterclass

Karen Alsop has been running the highly sought-after Story Art Masterclass for the past 5 years, offering participants an immersive 8-week program that fosters interactive learning and provides a comprehensive understanding of compositing techniques. With many participants returning year after year, the program has proved to be a huge success. In 2023, a new and improved format is being introduced that is based on the Masterclass modules, but with a focus on empowering Heart Project and Christmas Wish editors.

This new format will ensure that editors can continue to enhance their compositing skills each year, contributing even more to the Heart Project and their own creative journeys. By supporting the ongoing operation of the Heart Project and other similar organisations, the new format will enable participants to give back to their families and children in need, while also advancing their skills.

How does it all work?

1. Joining the Masterclass is an ongoing committment. You may join at any time, however you must reach Level 3 by October 31st to be included as a Christmas Wish Editor for that year. 

2. There are 5 levels, Level 5 being the most advanced and Level 1 being beginner. When you join the Masterclass you will be given some initial tests to establish your initial level. These levels are used to assist us in running The Heart Project and assigning levels of difficulty to editors. The levels are also an opportunity for you to enhance your compositing and to achieve growth. You may use your level badges.

Following your initial assessment, you will progress through levels by taking practical tests to level up. Assessors may also ‘level you up’ when they see your practical work and growth.

3. You recieve access to the Masterclass training modules, which you can work through at any time, however these modules should be completed prior to undertaking any editing roles with The Heart Project, So Many Angels or Christmas Wish.

4. Membership covers your learning and the developement of the courses and supports the ongoing operation of Christmas Wish each year.

FAQ

Q. Do I need to be a Masterclass Member to continue to be part of the Christmas Wish Editing team if I’ve been editing for several years?

Q. Apart from the modules, what other opportunities are there for live classes and interactive learning?

A. All participants will be invited to join a Discord Channel where you can request feedback, and learn from mentors.
