Hi everyone! My name is Angie.
I received my B.A. in Art Practice at University of California - Berkeley. Because the art department was generally very loose about our curriculum, I was permitted to start and facilitate/teach my own classes in various mediums that were not offered.
As a result, I focused on a multi-medium approach to combining the narrative with the visual. This included comics and graphic novels (both digital and print), video and photography, and traditional art forms, such as drawing, painting, and ceramics. However, along the way, I realized at times that my students or peers were utilizing tools and mediums in new media that I was completely unaware of or lacked knowledge and skill in.
My experience with new media is spotted and sporadic. Despite UC Berkeley having a Center of New Media, its courses were limited to mostly graduate students. Instead, almost everything I've learned is a result of personal curiosity and research, and ranges from software such as Adobe Photoshop and Nik Color Efex, to social media such as Facebook and Kickstarter, to hardware such as wide-format printers and SLR cameras. My goal for this class is to gather my current knowledge to a more fluid level in order to translate and pass on my experiences to my students and other people, as well as attain new skills to utilize in my creative processes
