Student Collaborative projects, Reed College

Embedded Object Museum (Material Objects) Reed College

Students made lists of objects and meanings, associations, and cultural implications. After casting the object in glass, each person added imagery and/or sound to alter or emphasize embedded meanings they uncovered or to reveal or create history with the object.

Animated Exquisite Corpse (Intro to Drawing) Reed College

For a lesson on drawing as ideation, students created an exquisite corpse animation by drawing 40 frames each, connecting their idea to the first frame of the next student’s idea. Every student in the class participated, and the resulting short will broadcast on Portland Community Media channels in January of 2020.

Time Arts: Pacific Northwest College of Art

A selection of my student's work in Time Arts- Foundations. Assignments are Flip Book Animation, Still Image Narrative, Video Poem, and Stop Motion.

Time, Portland State University

Almost 20/20 is a program created for Portland Community Media broadcast channels by my Time Class, and it refers both to this moment in US social political history and to clarity of vision. Most students in CORE are in their first year of college study; here they present their first videos, sound scores, animations, and performances. This work came about through experimentation, free writing, and in class exercises, readings, and assignments, and was produced in one class in the Winter quarter of 2019.
