Organized the storage, inventory and distribution of ceramic materials; maintained shop glazes and slip materials. Lastly, instituted shop upgrades requiring light construction. Academic Teaching Experience Instructor, Body Casting School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) Taught SAIC students the fundamentals of body casting. The course consisted of a materials approach where different media for casting from the body were introduced, examples of which are alginate, flex wax and plaster impregnated bandages. Students were also introduced to problem solving techniques related to specifically to removing casts from the body but that were also generally applicable to all around model and mold development. Examples of which are dam construction on organic forms and proper selection of mold material in relation to final end product Teaching Assistant, First Year Program School of The Art Institute of Chicago Engaged First Year Students in their initial experience in producing conceptually based art and the development of various critical thinking tools to aid them throughout their art making careers. Projects ranged from the construction of Derives, based on notions of psychogeography, conceptual mapping related to the space they inhabit within the city of Chicago and collaborative installations relating to their cartographic experiences. Students were also required to design and construct socially conscious 3 garments, meaning that the garments were informed through their potential affect from wearing them in our society. Students were also introduced to many new forms of construction in wood, metal, cloth, and other various materials and in this process they were introduced to a full-scale production woodshop and all of the equipment inherent in that environment, such as the table saw. Lastly, the students were required to participate in group and individual critiques, which for many, was a new experience. Teaching Assistant, Non-traditional Approaches to Clay School of the Art Institute of Chicago Engaged students in unorthodox methods of working in ceramic materials, processes involved were, performance using deflocculated slip, onsite construction of adobe kiln/structures, use of biological organisms (ants) in the production of a video installation and ceramic objects, alternative firing techniques and the use of glaze as the final product and not as surface treatment. Teaching Assistant, Advanced Ceramic Sculpture The School of The Art Institute of Chicago Taught advanced ceramics students methods of sculpture construction using ceramic materials, introduced gas and electric kiln firing techniques with development towards independent firing. Introduced methods of developing personalized clay bodies and glazed surfaces, provided guidance in the construction of portfolios and application packets towards entrance into graduate programs in ceramics and sculpture. Lastly, I engaged students one on one in a critique format to strengthen their abilities to talk about their own work. Teaching Assistant, Introduction to Furniture Design School of the Art Institute of Chicago Guided students in the completion of projects relating to flat materials and the design of dividing screens. The aim of the class was to build competence in the use of 3D drawing programs and to provide an introduction to the use of computer controlled milling equipment in the precise cutting of flat materials. Teaching Assistant, 3-D Fundamentals (Wood Construction) Indiana University Introduced students to the fundamentals of wood construction using both power equipment and hand tools along with connection methods involving both chemical and mechanical techniques. The focus of the section of this course was to not just provide experience in wood construction but also to present problem solving methods useful to wood construction in an art making format and involved non-traditional approaches. Teaching Assistant, Galileo’s Renaissance (Italy study trip) School of the Art Institute of Chicago Students on this trip could take the course for credit in art history, liberal arts or studio and so my role was multifaceted and revolved less around sheer academics and was oriented more towards a source of guidance in navigating a foreign country and culture. In short I was generally a source for students to turn to for problems ranging 4 from how to get around, where things are and how to get things done but. My other prime task was to aid students in the generation of ideas on what to write their papers on or to make their projects about and then to help them discern the best avenue for doing research on that topic while in Florence. Teaching Assistant, Instructional Fabrication Shop School of the Art Institute of Chicago Gave instructional lectures and demonstrations in the proper and safe use of a wide range of shop equipment used in wood fabrication to both students and Faculty. Also demonstrated a wide range of fabricating techniques for wood that involved joining and cutting methods. Supplied general advice and aid to faculty and students in their wood fabricating endeavors. Monitored students in the use of equipment Teaching Assistant, Designed Objects: Performing School of the Art Institute of Chicago Worked with students to develop site investigation and research techniques, with a specific emphasis on redefining typology and notions of form to action. The course also introduced students to the Instructional shops and guided the use of such facilities, introduced students to various forms of body casting and model production techniques, developed students abilities to design and implement a feasible route of exploration to the end that something real can be produced. Introduced students tot the use of the 3-D micro-scribe for the input of real-life data into Rhinoceros 3-D drawing program and in the basic use of said program.
