Kim Garza

She is the assistant professor  of the graphic design department. She loves design because the endless opportunities that comes with technology used for it. Eventurist is a project she worked on as an user experience designer which required her to survey and step into users shoes on what was needed for a travel app.She showed us a music & film collaboration she has been working on for the last 6 years with her husband. It is an edited version of the bio-pic Till Clouds Roll By that gives you a haunted dreamy feeling which I personally love.

Tammie Rubin

Ceramic sculptor that also works in the art department at St. Ed’s. Tammy explained that growing up in Chicago, a very structured planned city, influences the work she produces.  Her sculptures are  repurposed items that are generally over looked like sandwich containers. I like how odd the objects she uses together are. The juxtaposition of each item she adds forces the viewer to analyze each part of the sculpture.

James Sheran

Photographer that teaches at UT. James like to photograph unintentional human actions such as throwing trash away or moving pillows. The foundation of his photos have a surrealist concept of tapping into subconscious. I like that he feels photography conveys importance- it frames a moment in time instead of gazing over it.

Course Review

I loved how this class didn’t sugar coat the reality of being an art major while actually  introducing opportunities for us to make it in the industry. The humor from Bill, Hollis, and Tuan is definitely a plus the only thing I didn’t favor were the blog post but its part of the curriculum and I can’t complain. I truly enjoyed the seminar.
