GO DIRECTLY TO CURRENT COURSE MATERIALS at MassArt. I am Associate Professor in the Studio for Interrelated Media at Massachusetts College of Art. I deeply enjoy helping students realize their individual creative potential with digital media, interdisciplinary study, and conceptual development. I developed and taught two signature courses at Harvard University for several years - Creative New Media and the Web and Applied Innovation in Wireless Computing. I've also taught at Endicott College, Greenfield Community College, as well as the Pennsylvania's Governor's School of Excellence in Science at Carnegie Mellon University. Based on teaching at the College level as well as in public school classrooms in Massachusetts, I have lots of experience in promoting the creative and content-based use of digital technology via art and science curriculum. As an education consultant, I've worked with practicing teachers interested in combining computer skills with art-making. Along with others on the Boston Cyberarts Festival Youth Commitee, I developed the Faces of Tomorrow project introduced at the first Boston Cyberarts Festival aimed at giving young students a gallery for their digital self-portraiture. I've also taught and consulted on the topic of business concerns for artists. The magician Marco the Magi once said, "The classics teach us the value of, the responsibility of, repetition. When we go on stage, we have an appointment with our best selves. It means if you can make a commitment, with awareness, and take responsibility; that is the Art!" I think this applies to the art of teaching. Teaching is actually learning in disguise. |
