Lost but not Forgotten...

Hey Guys!
I know it has been a while, but I have not forgotten you guys! I have been extremely busy with school but enjoying every second of it! VPA is going through an amazing transformation... well that is the students. I have noticed that now more than ever we are becoming a tight knit community willing to share our tasks with each other.
About a month ago, my friend Leilani (student in the Fashion Design program), needed a photo shoot for her new line... and I offered my consulting services and contacted a photographer from MEXICO. Behold... we booked the photographer for free, and coordinated an artsy photo shoot for her collection. My job as a CRS student was to give the photo shoot some meaning, adding a contextual level of communication ( that means giving the pictures and clothes voice). I think it went well.... rather AMAZING... you be the judge!



My major is all about integration... CRS is all about becoming a platform for the real world. Giving meaning to a project and marketing yourself and talent as an integral force in the real world. That's wordy... then again that's my major!

I will be sure to keep you all posted with wonderful news to come!
Simply,
Terrance

A Simple Piece

As you all know I am currently enrolled in an Art Video course. For those who don't know what art video is, it is an alternative art form that allows artists to produce work on video and edit it into a piece that translates into a sentiment or expression of their current state. (at least that is how I like to look at it!) I think Art Video and CRS go hand in hand, CRS is all about expression, speaking, and providing a voice to important issues.


I decided to combine my passion for CRS with another passion.... self expression. My professor Aaron Hraba, told the class to create a project that represented them.... and this is what I came up with.
I know... it's a bit out there, but hey... that's how I feel! As for the use of paint...I like to incorporate paint because it represents toxicity and anguish. It is a visual reminder that what is said... no matter where causes a strain.
As for my Major... I LOVE IT!
Lately I have been getting involved with many organizations on campus and having CRS as my major surely gives me an edge. CRS is a marketing tool, business card, and just a heck of a way of saying you are an intellectual! SO enough with the reading heads... CRS is about substance!
