Color in Art and Design
Color in Art and Design is an online asynchronous course at Western New England University I created to support transferable skills in non-majors. Projects are designed to also support other majors on campus (business/marketing, comp sci, communications), and the curriculum is a combination of intro studio, art appreciation, and survey course approaches. Portfolios represent curated and concise overviews of projects and concepts from the course.

Drawing I
Drawing I at Western New England University is a studio art course for non-majors, often students with little experience creating art.
Thematic projects were designed to be experimental student-driven concepts, focusing on mixed media and development of the creative process and practice. The full portfolio demonstrates how students practiced research, ideation, development, and revision.

Portrait contrasts illustrate growth from the start of class to mid-semester. A pre-instruction self-portrait was assigned as the first homework assignment of the semester and students were asked not to look up tutorials, etc. These portraits are compared to mid-semester self-portraits created after studying materials and proportions.

Organic abstraction projects introduced students to early 20th century abstract artists, and for most students, introduced the concept of abstraction as a whole. Students were encouraged to explore ink and mixed media, patterns, textures, and basic compositional design principles.
