To just give you some basic information about me, I am pursuing a degree in graphic design and hope to graduate by next December. I came to Stout last year as a transfer student and have really enjoyed the school. I can't say that I am a fan of the small town atmosphere, but the people are great and it has been a good experience so far.
Last year I went to Japan over winter break to visit my boyfriend who was teaching English to high school seniors. I stayed there for about a month and in that time I got a good sense of the culture. I also saw a lot of art in many forms. The graphic art was amazing to me, very colorful, light and fun. Even with signage and commercial adds there was a very positive vibe. It was a wonderful experience and it has led me to the conclusion that I want to travel a great deal after my college years! My boyfriend is currently in California for graduate school for international education and I plan on moving there after graduation. We both hope to find a job internationally for a few years after.
I do not require anymore studio classes but it was recommended to take life drawing. I feel like this class will be helpful to me and am excited to learn more about drawing and the anatomy of the body. My hope is that in understanding the body better, it will become easier to visualize images with out having them in front of me and ultimately become a faster drawer. We will see what happens!
