teaching / education involvement
Graphic Design 1
CCRI
Sept 2014
I taught graphic design 1 at the Community College of Rhode Island.
I started this introductory class with a hands on / computer off structure
where the students learned the elements and principles of graphic design
by constructing compositions with cut paper and through drawing exercises.
This was followed up with translating those same core elements and
principles into Adobe Illustrator and included brief graphic design history
and typoragphy lessons.
CCRI Guest Speaker
CCRI
Oct 2010
I was invited, twice, to speak to community college art students on all
matters art and design school; preparation, portfolios, college life and
specifically about my experiences as a transfer to RISD from CCRI.
Oct 2009
CCRI Search Committee
CCRI
May 2010
I was invited to sit on the CCRI art department search committee and help
interview potential candidates for the position of graphic design and new
media professor. Because of my experiences as a student at CCRI, as a
transfer to RISD, and someone who works in the field professionally, they
felt my input would be of significatn value in determining what students
needed from their professors of art and design.
Type 3 Lecture Design
AIB
Sept 2009
I assisted in the design of a Typography 3 lecture for professor
Richard Rose for his graphic design class at Art Institute of Boston (AIB).
