Specialties: I provide a foundation of art fundamentals and environment for investigating artistic concepts and principles of visual organization of artistic elements, through Drawing, Painting, Photography, and review of Art History.Artist Statement:Hello, I'm Jacob, I been doing some form of art ever since I can remember. I consider myself a Modern Contemporary Artisan. Art is a word that conjures up many theories that fill the imagination with possibilities of conceptual ideas and brings them into reality. The challenge of combining colors and shape to create a design, that moves people, when they view it, is just magical. As a man, and veteran, and Artisan, I leave you with this: “The Images I create are my curse, my love, and my destiny that keeps me sane, in this insane world and impossible is fun, when setting new degrees of invention."Letter of introduction insert:The enclosed resume will highlight my career accomplishments and demonstrate my solid creative, instructional, leadership capabilities. Over the last ten semesters, I had the wonderful opportunity to instruct a diverse group of students from all pier levels of the college, and with different skill sets. My instructional methods and teaching techniques have developed into a system that can educate all styles of learners, bringing forth a learning environment that fosters a creative ongoing growth, that encourages art appreciation and promotes independence. Teacher strength as an educator that I find as the most important or greatest asset, is meeting new students from all ages and skill sets and developing a personal understanding of their goals.
