Part 1: Based on the notes you took during class, write a brief description and response to each of the Faculty presentations.

For the faculty presentation this week we had Bob, Alex, and Jo present about their work and life. For Bob’s presentation, he talked about how his passion for gaming and how it became his career. I thought that it was clever how he related pinball throughout his presentation. For Alex’s presentation she discussed how her children have influenced her work. I thought that the fact that she was able to overcome some of the challenges that come with having children, grow from the experience, refine her work, and her method was very interesting to hear about. Jo presented from his photography series of family portraits. I thought that they were all very compelling and I thought that the setting of the portraits of made them very interesting.

Part 2: Reflection on this semester and course.

Overall I really like this course. Getting the opportunity to listen to artist, faculty, former students, and current students was a very inspiring and educational experience. There is nothing that I would really criticize because I felt like all the classes were well spent.
