 Welcome, Designers!

I am happy you have arrived here.

I hope something about graphic design and digital art has sparked your interest, and maybe this semester that spark will turn to flame. 

Here are some of the best ways students have found to be successful in our beginning photography course:                 
                                                                                                   
1. Work thoughtfully & mindfully so others may do the same.
2. Be prompt, on-time, present and remain in the studio.
3. Listen carefully and be courteous when others are talking or demonstrating.
4. Always use time productively.
5. Insure your language, comments and projects appropriately follow TuHS school handbook guidelines.
6. Demonstrate a positive approach to assignments.
7. Positively receive feedback and critique.
7. Pursue challenging solutions & strive for high standards of achievement.
8. Keep track of – and clean up – materials, and come to class prepared to work.
9. Demonstrate personal initiative and problem solving ability.
10. Actively participate intelligently in individual and group activities and critiques.

I am enthused about taking you from point A to point B. Each of you comes to the class with a different creative starting point, and will grow/learn from there. That is inherently exciting. I am honored to be a part of your education, and believe you can go far.

Life Advice (from you!)

Go to Target sometimes it just has a good vibe. Do whatever you want whenever you want, if it's truly a bad decision, then there will be consequences, but if not then you'll know you made the right choice. ask for things you need and don't feel guilty about it  Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present. If you ever feel like you can't do something, just don't give up.  live everyday like its the last washing potatoes with soap make sure to rinse them off again. eat as much food as you can. diets don't count on holidays over exceed everyones expectations. Most small decisions don't matter. LIFE ADVICE: YOLO Life Advice: stay true to yourself and never change yourself for someone else. Success isn't always found the first time around.
