Apple offering creative iPhone photography and iPad art workshops worldwide in the new year

Apple will be offering two new workshops at Apple Stores in the new year, CNET reports, each designed to help customers bring out their artistic side. One is geared to creative photography techniques on the iPhone, while the other is about using iPads for sketching, drawing and painting.

“We’ll help you try out various accessories and techniques — like long exposure for light trails, using Time-lapse to show progression, or getting up close with nature using a macro lens,” Apple said in a statement. “Then, we’ll explore artistic ways to adjust and edit your photos, so you can create a work of art, find your style, or just improve your skills.”

Both workshops are part of Apple’s Start Something New campaign, first launched a year ago by using retail stores as temporary art galleries

They are in addition to the introductory iPhone Photography and Videography workshops already offered in stores. At the time of writing, the new workshops were not yet listed on Apple’s website, but CNET reports that they will be offered at all Apple Stores worldwide.

If you’re in New York, Apple is also hosting a special art-themed event at its West 14th Street store on the evening of January 7th.

Join us for a special evening with artists Tiffany Bozic, Jake Sargeant, William Hundley, Greg Barth, and Bernhard Lang. Hear these talented illustrators, digital artists, and photographers discuss their work with moderator Evan Pricco, Editor of “Juxtapoz Magazine.” And see how they use iPhone, iPad, and Mac—along with great apps and accessories—to produce their art. Then get up close with each of them to ask questions and learn about techniques that can help you create your own amazing art.

The user-interface on Apple’s Start Something New campaign page is not for those still feeling a little queasy from over-indulgence over the holidays …
