dc.descriptionCapstone contains the artist's statement, a list of works, and images of works.
dc.description.abstractThe artist's statement: I have been an artist my whole life. At a young age I thrived in making art and was often asked by others to do art work for them. When I got to High School, I continued to take art classes, and have always enjoyed the process as well as the outcome. During my senior year, I was deciding what college was a good fit for me as well as what I wanted to major in. I had this idea that I would become a doctor so I became a Chemistry major. My High School art teacher suggested that I major in Illustration due to my success in his class. This had always been a passion and talent of mine, but I pursued Chemistry. In the middle of my college career I took time off. When I returned I realized that I wanted to be an art major, and am extremely happy that I did. I look back on what my High School art teacher advised, and I found my way back to art as a discipline. I had to find my way there on my own. My concentration is Graphic Design, and I love that I can include illustration with typography to make something very clean and professional. During my time at CSU as an art major has prepared me to think critically and trust the artistic process to derive something final. My history in drawing really shows through with my artwork. I have taken many studio and art history classes at CSU. I have learned so much about this discipline, that it has shaped me as an artist. I have critically created so many pieces of art in many different mediums. In Typography, we had a client come in and pitch about his company so that we, the students, would create multiple assignments that included logos, posters, and stationary. I find this type of work to be very engaging and I feel as though I can solve a problem that requires my aesthetics with the personality of the client's company. I chose graphic design because it combines all mediums of art that I care about into something digital and exact. I am proficient with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, which are the two CreativeCloud design software programs that I use most. I look at this work as a way to solve a problem. I start with multiple sketches and refine them until I have narrowed down my ideas. Once I have a composition in mind I can take this to the computer and create something from my background as well as from the information I know about the client. These things all come together to create something beautiful that the client or teacher can observe.
