ART
Ceramics is another large part of my artist process and collaboration. I see it as a learning block where I can create things from nothing. This allows me to visualize imagery and products in a different way. I can conceptually create designs through angles, shapes, and shadows because I can see them in real time before reaching the screen.
​
I view myself very visually and conceptually inclined. Art has always been something I gravitate towards and used as a way to express myself and projects. I try to incorrporate layers of design and color organization within my work. I put myself in the places I think I am most needed.
JOYRIDE
Many projects have accumulated throughout my time here at Fitchburg State University. I can't say there are many that I am most proud of, except for Joyride. This particular project was built from an array of paintings and pictures based off "Cars in America". A semester long project that was conceptually pieced together to display famous artists and photographers. Hours upon hours, spent with design, color, and text work, to make a beautiful and edgy catalogue for the Fitchburg Art Museum.
JOURNALISM
Over the course of my time in Journalism, I learned many skills that have benefited myself and my work. It allowed me to focus on my own voice within my papers and projects, as well as participate in real world scenarios. This specific piece required you to go out into the world and interview people. I have found that a skill of mine has always been my ability to verbally communicate with people, I find that's the most efficient way to gain real emotion and information. I enjoyed learning this new skill in the writing process of journalism especially for the future.
PUBLIC RELATIONS
This piece was one of my PR plans I made within this class. Personally I enjoyed the work that accumulated from each assignment. I got a new perspective on how consumers view topics and provide a positive image. As well as try and obtain the highest potential for a project. While I constructed this PR plan, I got to talk about art, something I am most passionate and interested in. This taught me that your best work will come from what speaks to you close.
MEDIA CRITICISM
This specific class was very beneficial to my overall knowledge. It is important to understand media and how you comprehend it but it is also matters how others are processing information and media. This piece below is a thesis paper accumulated over the semester long class. We were able to choose the subject and conceptually tie our ideas together. I did my Thesis on the Sexism within Disney Princess Films. Within the paper I present my voice and views on several Princess films that display similar sexist attributes and tropes.
