What is your favorite thing about teaching at RMCAD?

I like to work at RMCAD a lot. I like the energy and passion for art. I like to see my freshmen growing up and becoming independent artists.

No matter what type of artist you aspire to become, you need to start with the basics. Foundation Studies helps you refine fundamental skills like sketching, composition, color theory and sculpture. You'll also practice creative problem solving and hone your computer literacy.
