More About Myself: I've wanted to be a teacher all my life, but I spent 20 years in the private sector 1st working at Apple Computer, Franklin Templeton Mutual Funds, State Government, General Contractor, Commercial Fishing, etc.
Yes, I have a wide range of work experience, but I never feel more complete as a professional as I do when I'm teaching.
About this Course...
Digital Art and Media is about expressing yourself in the information age.
We mix the traditional elements and principles of design with graphic art and web development.
Advertisers and marketers use the elements and principles of design just like famous painters do, and students understand the motivation behind creating an advertisement that manipulates the eye towards buying or selling something. So it makes sense to combine the two.
Digital Media is where the jobs are and it's relevant to students.
