Teaching Experience
2005-2009
Critic: RISD Sculpture Department Providence, RI
Classes- Kinetics Studio 3cr, Casting Studio 3cr., Advanced Casting Studio 3cr., Artist Projects 3cr., Sophomore Sculpture 6cr
Service- I designed curriculums, advised students, prepared lectures and facilitated critiques for undergraduate and graduate students. Organized a panel discussion- Life after Art School, with The Sculpture Department and local community art groups. I planned student trips to New York City and developed an internship program for RISD students at the Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation Studio Program in NYC. I ordered departmental supplies and maintained shop facilities. I piloted a new class titled Artist Projects. This class is designed to give students the opportunity to apprentice with an artist as they worked on a large-scale sculptural project. I worked with 10 students to create a full-scale model of a HUMMER H3 covered in $35,000 worth of discarded scratch tickets.
2004-2009
Instructor: Continuing Education, Summer Studies Program Providence, RI
Beginning Foundry 3cr, Casting Studio 3cr, Places, Site and Media 3cr, Soft Sculpture 3cr.
Service- I worked with graduate and undergraduate students from colleges throughout the country. In the casting class students with various skill levels were introduced to the fundamentals of wax-working, bronze casting, and finishing techniques. Places, Site and Media is a multi-disciplined course that encourages students to experiment with several mediums in sites throughout Providence. I designed the curriculum, prepared lectures, facilitated critiques, coordinated visiting artists, ordered supplies and maintained the facility.
