Bienvenidos
Welcome to the Classroom
I am very proud of the learning environment we have built at the Center for Computer Studies. I have been putting the A in STEAM education here for the last 20+ years. I use art history to connect students to the language of creative software and build original art.

Problem solving is the playground of artists and digital creatives. I use art history as a means of connecting the language and techniques of artists to digital interfaces, and engage students in the creative process of using software to make art. This process takes learners from the building blocks of idea development through the language of materials and process, and ultimately, challenges them to see beyond software variables to their final vision.

I believe connecting language to art process allows students to transfer their knowledge to digital applications. It opens doors for developers & programmers to understanding the visual power the art department has in presenting the final code to the user. The language of art history empowers students suffering with imposter syndrome to enter and move in the academically credentialed areas of any industry. Even if a student never takes another computer or art class, the study of art & software provides skills to appreciate and talk about art beyond what they like.
