PaintShop Pro, Virtual University, and a lifetime of creativity
Mom taught herself PaintShop Pro through online courses at Virtual University and never looked back. Starting with a beginner's Web Page Design class — where she wrote "I am very excited to be a part of Virtual University! I hope to create my first web page using what I learn in class" — she went on to master digital art, complete five-week intensive courses, earn a score of 21 out of 25 on her final exam, and eventually write her own tutorial to teach others.
What started as a hobby became a passion. She created signature graphics for her online friends, experimented with brushes, vectors, and photo manipulation, and built this very website to share it all. These pages are a tribute to her creativity, her dedication, and the joy she found in learning something new.
I took an online course in PSP7 (Paint Shop Pro). It lasted for 5 weeks and I really enjoyed it. I took a test of 25 questions and got 4 wrong.
Mom created dozens of signature graphics — personalized digital art for herself and her online friends. Flowers, vases, holiday themes, and more, each one crafted in PaintShop Pro.
"This is my Virtual Notebook for 'Web Page Design For Beginners' to practice tags and take notes about the lessons. I am looking forward to learning HTML."
