I am a senior in the interior design program. I love my major! I have interned at Perkins + Will, an architecture firm in Minneapolis, and loved working there also. The diversity of the art program at Stout has been great because I now have a background in fine arts as well as interior design. All of my fundamental design courses and studios have been beneficial, but recently I have enjoyed being in my core classes. I have not taken a drawing class since I was a freshman so it will be a bit of a challenge getting back into it. I am looking forward to life drawing because it seems a lot freer than the drawing style in Drawing One and Two. In those courses I learned a lot about shadow and light, which I know is a neccesary, but I think figure drawing will be a great change. Understanding the human body and the details of how it works will be an asset since my career objective is designing spaces where people function comfortably and efficiently. It will be good for me to learn new techniques. I hope to improve my skills, speed, and confidence.
