This drawing was done from a model in my Life Drawing course last semester using a graphite pencil. I mainly focused on reproducing the different structures of the body using line. We had a short amount of time to do this drawing, so I tried to capture the figure more expressionistically. 
A self-portrait I did entirely in charcoal; an assignment for my Life Drawing class. I wanted to really strive to capture the features of my face as accurately as possible. The aim here was to create a figure entirely with shadow.
Here is a drawing I did from a model, another homework assignment for Life Drawing. I tried to creatively utilize line as a means to visually represent different aspects of the reality I saw before me, and of course to recreate the shapes and proportions of the model as accurately as I could.
This is a documentation video I took with my digital camera of a piece I completed over the course of last semester for my Introduction to General Fine Arts class. For this project I interviewed various MICA students over the course of the semester, asking them questions that would not necessarily be asked in a normal conversation or even a conventional interview. I tried to find out, from these inquiries, some of the most important things about them right off the bat and record the experience of our discourse on camera. The imformation was not the only focus here, but also the body language of the people I interviewed and it's reflection on social norms today as well as in my own age group.
In the final realization, the interviews were presented in two edited videos projected on the walls of a small, odd little hallway in the Main Building the day of the GFA show. The videos played at the same time, creating an atmosphere of slight confusion and feeling of multitude, and the videos being projected directly on the walls of the "institution" itself reflect the fact that this is a survey of the various students that make up the Maryland Institute College of Art.
