David Roland Rodriguez What would you say is the defining moment in your life when you knew you were destined to become a creative professional? The defining moment in my life that pushed me towards a creative field was when I was given the opportunity to help paint a wall during my high school year.
This was for the Festival of the Arts in Oklahoma City. Using real-world projects helps students not only understand fundamentals, but also deal with time constraints and production issues.
Not only focusing on how the project looks on computer, but how does it look as a finished piece. To understand that not only is the overall design important, but how the final piece is produced. How does the finished piece feel in your hands; was the right paper chosen, should we have used a spot varnish, why is my paper cracking on the folds and I did not see this during the press check. Is there a class assignment that exemplifies your approach to teaching and mentoring?
Similarly, how does your approach inspire each student to push themselves beyond their own perceived limits? In my digital imaging class, projects are not only centered on building their skills within the program.
Critiques throughout the design process allow students to see and look beyond the usual answers. Thus, allowing for creative freedom to explore and develop a unique solution for their projects. What role does collaboration contribute to students' success, especially when students from other programs contribute to the same project?
Allowing a vast amount of communication amongst the students within different disciplines helps them verbalize their ideas. This brings about a level of refinement within their designs.
In your opinion, what is the single most important thing you impart to your students to help them succeed in your class and in the real world? That everything design has potential. Yet, you need to push yourself out of the mold to create visually stunning pieces, because your competition is sitting right next you.

I have always worked with my hands, from a very young age I had two passions; Music and Art. I never understood that my enjoyment of weaving, stained glass, pinhole photography and many other more craft oriented ventures would lead to contemporary art.
In music, I loved the technicality and musicianship of playing, but I never felt like a could innovate at it.
In art, I felt the freedom to express my viewpoints and communicate in a way that I never could with music. I think being current in the field of art also keeps me current with trends and conversations happening currently. Additionally, my varied work experiences and have given me a unique perspective on what it takes to be successful in a creative career. This is valuable to a student.
I love to use current events and push the students to identify with their own unique viewpoints and perspectives and work on how to explain this to a broader audience. One assignment that uses this example is in Image Manipulation, I ask the students to express the true meaning of an advertisement and create a message that is important to them. It can be humorous to serious but connecting their personal stake in something they work on really does give them that seriousness about what they are doing in the classroom.
Unique perspectives! All of us have to work with a multitude of different people in all of our professions and in school it is easy to use this as a micro-chasm of the real world. How do we best work with those of different experiences and perspectives. Top 3 rules for being successful in a creative career. Is there anything else you'd like us to know about you, your experience, or your role as a faculty member at The Art Institutes?
I have been a working artist all around the world from to today. From Australia, the Caribbean, Europe and across America I am a living example of the struggle and success that my students are about to embark on and I am happy to help them in their journey. Nancy Wood What would you say is the defining moment in your life when you knew you were destined to become a creative professional?
Growing up I designed and sewed my own clothes and clothes for my dolls. In college I expected to major in costume design but the major required basic drawing and painting courses. In my first oil painting class at UCLA I fell in love with oil painting- manipulating colors and shapes and the aroma of linseed oil.
The professor held up my work as an example for the class and I was advised to change my major to Studio Art. I even learned to run a few presses. What I learned about printing and darkroom methods transfers to current tools in Photoshop and Illustrator. Associates are typically appropriate for students interested in vocational or technical fields and blend major-specific and general education courses.
The major of these are 90 quarter credits, which can transferred into a bachelor degree later. Applicants should have earned a high school diploma or GED, and will submit a short essay in addition to an in-person or phone interview. Transfer credits are dealt with on a case-by-case basis. The institute offers a wide range of resources before, during, and after enrollment.
