I guess I'll start off that I was born in the Madison Wisconsin area and moved to Mount Horeb around 2nd grade. I have been into art most of my life and have gotten fairly into art recently. My senior year of high school I got to help out my art teachers by basically keeping the art department together. That year both art teachers were out of the office for an entire semester, so I needed to help teach the substitutes how to do things. I later came to Stout for art education, and pursued that for 2 years before deciding it wasn't for me. I switched my major to Game Design and Development. And, now here I sit.
As for my art style, I don't really have a defined style yet, and I doubt I truly ever will. My favorite mediums are digital painting and charcoal. I really don't like using pen and ink or watercolor. I rather hate blind contour and continuous contour. I love doing a mask of charcoal over the sheet of paper because it sort of removes the sense of permanency of the marks. I don't really like a messy work of paper, I prefer the clear defined lines of illustration. I believe I'm in life drawing more to learn about proportions rather than realism.
All in all I'm looking forward to this class (except the blog part, I have trouble with blogs) and expect it to be like the life drawing class that I took before, but I wouldn't mind some surprises.
