Part 1:

Kim Garza

Kim Garza is an Assistant Professor of Graphic Design. Kim works a lot with companies and app creating, but also does not limit herself to only making work for her job. For the past 6 years, she and her husband have been remaking a classic old film with new music and re-arranging the shots into  very psychedelic phenomenal aesthetics. Kim shows that it’s very important to make time for your own projects.

Tammie Rubin

Tammie Rubin is a ceramics sculpter, although she takes on a whole new view of ceramics. She started taking waste, and things that were created for little to maybe one time use, and makes it into these sculptures that make them more important and vital than what their initial use was. She finds a way to create a connection between realism and imagination with her pieces.

James Shurin

James Shurin is a very interesting photographer, because his main focus is very unique. He finds beauty in “unintentional aesthetics,” which basically means he takes something mainly ordinary or over-looked, and finds a way to make it into something great. His photos are between both abstract and literal, but he does not confine himself to one focus.

Part 2:

I find this class a very interesting, because it has all three courses, combined into one. Although I am a graphic designer, I do find joy in learning about the other classes, and it makes me want to explore more than just working with graphics. It allows me to combine graphic design, photography, and art to make a work.
