00:00:00.390 --> 00:00:02.290
As a student in the art department at Dominican,

2
00:00:02.890 --> 00:00:05.970
I love how community focused all of the classes are.

3
00:00:06.270 --> 00:00:11.130
It keeps everything focused and it truly just fosters

4
00:00:11.130 --> 00:00:12.770
such a great learning environment. It's structured in a way

5
00:00:13.520 --> 00:00:16.530
that it's approachable for people who have been drawing

6
00:00:16.530 --> 00:00:20.970
for a long time as well as people who just are, you know, picking up

7
00:00:20.970 --> 00:00:24.850
and doing art seriously for the first time in their lives.

8
00:00:24.850 --> 00:00:26.250
So I think it's catered in a way that's very approachable

9
00:00:26.390 --> 00:00:31.370
In terms of fostering a good environment.

10
00:00:31.370 --> 00:00:34.370
All the professors that I've had in,

11
00:00:34.710 --> 00:00:38.850
in any of my either drawing, painting or graphic design classes,

12
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:43.290
love hearing about what the students want to bring to the class.

13
00:00:43.910 --> 00:00:47.290
The professors here, they're really passionate about what they do.

14
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.450
They love their students. They don't want to see us fail.

15
00:00:50.450 --> 00:00:51.970
They want to see us succeed at all times.

16
00:00:52.110 --> 00:00:56.410
So you can build a relationship with them and 

17
00:00:56.610 --> 00:00:57.490
they can know exactly what's going on. 

18
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:01.210
I've talked to Nacho and Bill about my internship and asked them for advice,

19
00:01:01.210 --> 00:01:04.770
and they can give you extended amounts of time for advice.

20
00:01:05.190 --> 00:01:09.890
So this summer I'll be interning for the MLB, 

21
00:01:10.490 --> 00:01:11.323
Major League Baseball, in Manhattan, New York,

22
00:01:11.860 --> 00:01:15.810
where I'll be working for the digital content design department.

23
00:01:16.510 --> 00:01:17.810
As an art or design major, you have to take a group of core classes

24
00:01:17.830 --> 00:01:21.610
that includes ceramics and painting and art history.

25
00:01:21.810 --> 00:01:26.610
And in those classes you meet the other art majors.

26
00:01:26.670 --> 00:01:30.770
So no matter what you do, you are around all kinds of artists and 

27
00:01:31.080 --> 00:01:34.930
it's really interesting to expand the mediums that you work with 

28
00:01:34.930 --> 00:01:38.490
so that you're not always on the computer or not always working with ceramics,

29
00:01:38.490 --> 00:01:43.130
you're able to kind of try out different forms of your creativity 

30
00:01:43.130 --> 00:01:46.330
and that can be really rewarding and you can find 

31
00:01:46.330 --> 00:01:47.163
different versions of the art that you like to do.

32
00:01:47.270 --> 00:01:52.050
You're really prepared in the graphic design program to go into the world

33
00:01:53.550 --> 00:01:58.210
and be yourself and feel empowered to do that through your education.
