Teaching

I’m currently on faculty at Ringling College of Art and Design logoRingling College of Art and Design where I teach in the Computer Animation and the Game Art + Design programs. The Game Art curriculum is a new program that seeks to bring Ringling’s cinematic values to game worlds.

Both programs are housed within the Computer Animation Department, and faculty are shared between the programs. Our focus is strongly on the art side of game art and design, though  students study design topics throughout the curriculum in support of their art training.

The Game Art program works to produce visual artists with a thorough understanding of how art assets and other visual elements function in games to create a sense of place and meaningful experience. We aim to produce artists with the skills, ability, and aesthetic judgment to create visually sophisticated work that supports and extends the goals and vision of the design/development team.
