- What is your year and major?
- Senior
- Digital Art & Photography
- What is your favorite medium to work with and why?
- Digital illustration and animation. I like digital illustration because it mixes technology with creativity. It’s like playing a sandbox game like Minecraft, except you have something to show for it. Animation is just fun. Taking a still image and making it move has always been fascinating to me. I’ve always been really good with computers and when I was shopping around for a new major it just made sense.
- How did you choose the pieces you will be displaying?
- I make ridiculous animations and call them art. I made several short animations and showed them to different people. I’m displaying the ones that got the best reactions.
- What would you like people to know about your show?
- People are very uncomfortable laughing at something if it wasn’t supposed to be funny. Yes, my show is supposed to be funny. Everything I’m showing exists to be entertaining. My show is absurd and ridiculous and it’s going to be a lot of fun.
- What is one piece of advice you have for incoming art students?
- Get to know your professors. They actually know what they are talking about. A quick question after class can save you hours of Google searching later. Eventually, everyone is going to need to ask a professor to mentor their senior show, so you might as well get to know them early.
