Dr GODFRED ANNUM's FOREMOST DIGITAL PAINTING EXHIBITION at ALLIANCE FRANCAIS in KUMASI GHANA (6th February 2014)

Having introduced Digital Painting and Sculpture at KNUST in 2005, this is my major Digital Painting exhibition to demonstrate my dexterity in the field of computer artistry and the ability to employ the computer as a multimedia apparatus for painterly expression. 

This exhibition became a reality with the collaboration of Alliance Francais of Ghana, Kumasi Sector under the auspices of Director of Alliance Francaise in Kumasi, Miss Ingrid Hummel. Please read my statement of purpose (click here to download)..

My digital paintings are not computer generated as characteristic of many digital painters. I handle Adobe Photoshop virtual painting tools on a wide range of subject matter and colour schemes using the computer mouse, with the same prowess as I handle traditional painting applicators. I apply virtual colours to simulate painterly effects that are comparable to any easel or mural painting, in a style I classify as colouristic impressionism. I stylistically love to capture the expressive modes of my 'figures' and the alternating temperature variations characteristic of the tropical Ghanaian environment.

I hope these exhibits inspire you to venture into the rudiments of computer painting and achieve better results than I have exhibited. For more on these digital paintings, visit my virtual gallery.

TRAINING WORKSHOP ON THE USE OF ADOBE FLASH FOR MEDICAL EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT

Below are pictorial proceedings from a Two-Week workshop I facilated in the School of Medical Sciences at the University of Cape Coast in Ghana at the initiative of Dr. Paul Nsiah, Head, Department of Chemical Pathology, to train the school's IT technical staff on the use of Adobe Flash for developing illustrational materials for Medical Education. Mr. Kusi Acheampong, a lecturer in the school coordinated activities of the workshop.

I am indeed grateful to the dean of the school (Prof. Harold S. Amonoo-Kuofi, Dean, Head, Department of Anatomy) for his support to advance this course of capacity building for his I.T. Personnel. Ghana really need such leaders who are technologically inclined to motivate the advancement of New-Media Technology in education.

The enthusiasm of the participants was very encouraging, attracting other senior members in the school to join in the training as an attestation of the success of the workshop.
