    Teaching Philosophy:

As a teacher of  art, I work most effectively in an educational environment that allows me to create and deliver instruction in a combination of collaborative and individual approaches to Computing Applications, Digital Art, Design, and Sculpture.

I build on my experience and ability to develop and implement  hands on  instruction and upon the belief that student artists must experiment with design concepts in group collaborations and individually to develop the skills of creative visualization, communication, and differentiation.
Each student artist is encouraged  to use sketch book, story board, and design software tools to build a vocabulary of  basic designs.   Students are also encouraged to exercise visual perception, develop the organization of visual elements in works, and create art during each class session.
I mentor these artists in the use of the tools and trust in their vision. In this way I communicate my experience of how I develop and  execute three-dimensional design concepts. I  encourage students  to build teams consisting of students with synergistic talents to complete collaborative works.
Each student artist in my courses will complete several individual works from concept to  presentation while exercising the skills necessary to execute their works' design.

In addition, I build on my experience with  design concepts to introduce the use of materials, tools, and methods of  sculpture to encourage students to begin an exploration of the three-dimensional form. I introduce the concepts of design for fabrication, including techniques such as  laser cutting and welding; casting and finishing metal sculpture through the lost wax process using ancient methods, and modern ceramic shell casting technologies.  I also draw on guest artists and my  experience as a practicing visual artist to introduce concepts of professionalism.  Finally, I introduce  and emphasize the need for business vision, marketing,  promotion, and presentation to open up for students the wide array of possibilities for employment, and art commissions.
 

     Statement of  Direction

I am now completing the digital design for " Waterfall IV" . This is a 10 ft x 20 ft x 40 ft arched sculpture fountain with pool that spans a plaza mall and will evoke with water and sound the experience of a waterfall through which the viewer can walk. The sculpture is solar powered and constructed as a space frame structure of powder-coated steel, cast aluminum, aluminized Mylar, Lucite polycarbonate sheet, and stone. These forms will focus attention on the effects of cascading water sheeting on many levels, creating refraction's, which will transform the space with energetic movement.
