I have been very busy this semester, developing, planning and teaching a new digital art course at JLS: Multimedia Art. It has been a highly rewarding and freeing process to implement my professional experience and phenomenal training from Ringling and make it accessible, fun and interesting for middle schoolers. The class is lightly approached as a design studio, with the teacher (myself) acting as art director and leading the junior (beginning) & mid-level (intermediate) designers on each project.
We have been working extensively with Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator to create donut posters, digital collages, spot the difference puzzles and logos. As we enter the final quarter of the school year, we will be moving from still imagery to motion graphics & animation. For more information and a gallery of all student work, please visit our class blog. In other news, I have finally completed my teaching credential and Master's program!
