About Mr. McGehee

I grew up in the small town of Durant, Oklahoma and went to college at the University of North Texas in Denton, TX. While at UNT, I received two bachelor's degrees: one in Radio, TV & Film Studies and one in History. After moving to Bellingham in 2006, I attended Western Washington University in order to get my teaching certification. I taught History and technology classes at high schools in Bellingham from spring 2010 to June 2012. In the fall of 2012, I was happy to find what I consider to be a dream job here at MMS teaching digital art classes. I enjoy the thrill of teaching classes that always change with the latest techniques and technology.

Aside from education, I have over 10 years of experience in graphic design, photography and the digital printing industry. Living in Mount Vernon with my family, I enjoy cooking; looking for new music to listen to; listening to news podcasts and reading technology and design blogs.

6th Period Graphic Design

6th period students created two pieces this week. The first was a Halloween-themed silhouette piece featuring a 6-step value scale or color scale. This activity required students to use layers, pencil tool and choose colors effectively. For an extra challenge, students were encouraged to use the Liquify warping tool to give the background some additional texture.
