This sketch assignment was challenging but interesting. I decided to approach it using the learning outcomes posted at the beginning of the semester. I personally felt that I achieved all of these learning objectives, and that they underlay all of the work I did this semester. It was somewhat challenging to break down and illustrate …
Unfortunately, my 16×16 image doesn’t look fantastic blown up– I couldn’t figure out how to draw it in a 16×16 format and also have it remain clear when shown in a size that one could actually see. I took the original image myself when I was in Capri, Italy in the spring of 2015. I …
I really enjoyed this project– it reminded me of activities we did in slam poetry club in high school. I found it so enjoyable that I made 3 visual poems. The first one (with the trees and the road) says “Hope that distance to somebody shines an eye.” I felt like this phrase encapsulated the …

What I noticed upon re-watching the movie, however, was that there’s a lot of visually striking brightness in …
In the production of my episode of Media Nouveau (on My Favorite Murder, a comedy true-crime podcast), I think I had the most fun I’ve had in a really long time.
