The following projects were created under my instruction across Drawing, Painting, Watercolor, and Two-Dimensional Design courses. Captions identify the course, medium, and primary learning objectives demonstrated in each assignment. Icons are used to denote assignment structure:
(🎵) Musical cross-modal translation
(👥) Collaborative projects
(🎲) Gamified prompts
Student attribution is limited to first names or anonymous labels in accordance with FERPA guidelines, with captions emphasizing pedagogical intent and skill development rather than professional authorship.
🖼 Drawing I — “Viewpoint: Space & Focal Point” 🎨 Graphite 🧠 Proportion, value, and linear perspective to create spatial depth.
🖼 Drawing I — Group “Toolbox” Project 🎨 Charcoal 🧠 Collaborative collage examining texture, value range, and proportional relationships. 👥 Group assignment
🖼 Painting I — Landscape, Space & Texture 🎨 Acrylic on canvas 🧠 Use of proportion, overlap, and textured surfaces to activate pictorial space.
🖼 Painting I — Shape, Negative Space & Unity 🎨 Collage on paper 🧠 Cross-modal interpretation of musical prompt exploring shape, negative space, and compositional cohesion. 🎵 Musical cross-modal prompt
