A Little Info About Me

Here is my autobiography for this class.

• What’s your name?
- Jopeel Quimpo

• Describe your experience with computers.
- Years of experience. I use a computer on a daily basis.

• Describe your experience with digital arts.
- My only experience with digital arts is with Adobe Photoshop. I’ve been using it for years. I have taken a class for it and other classes that have used it, but before those classes I learned a lot through experimentation and trial and error.

• Why did you want to take this class?
- I am taking ART 293 (Digital Studio: Art & Technology) because I have only used Adobe Photoshop for editing photographs and I would like to learn how to use it for artistic purposes as well. Another reason I am taking this class is that I would like to learn how to create digital art with Corel Paint software.

• Describe your goals for this class.
- My goal for this class is to expand my creativity and knowledge with digital art through the use of computer software and hardware.

• What projects are you interested in tackling here?
- There are a few projects I have in mind, but one I would really like to tackle is to combine a photograph with a painting.

• Do you usually work on a Mac or a PC?
- Currently I am typing this on a Mac and find it a little difficult to work with. I'll get used to it eventually. I usually work on a PC.

• Do you identify as an Artist on any level? Details…
- I guess I can identify as an artist. I have been drawing since I was little and have taken numerous art classes through the years. Most of my woks are products of boredom, but I only have a few that I consider works of art. I have also taken classes on sculpture, wood carving, and animation.

• What would make this class go well for you?
- I like the class the way it is and it’s going pretty good so far. One thing that would make it go well would be to shorten the length of the class, but I know that won’t happen since it would leave us with little time to work on our projects. Other than that, I wish the cafeteria would be open on Saturdays so the second half of class is not filled with thoughts of food, but rather with creative thinking.
