Project Showcase
Senior Project: A Year of Drawing

Senior Project: A Year of Drawing

My presentation showcases my final drawing portfolio. It is a selection from all of the architecture, sculpture, and portrait drawings that I have completed in the last year.

Exploring Shakespeare

Exploring Shakespeare

This project is an interactive slideshow showcasing different artworks inspired by Shakespeare's plays such as "Hamlet", "Macbeth", "Romeo and Juliet", and "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

Minecraft Prom

Minecraft Prom

These are screenshots of the venue we have built for an online prom. While not yet complete, these give a fairly good idea of the final product. The event itself is scheduled for May 15; between now and then, more screenshots will likely be added to that folder. The "Buildings" subfolder has not been updated recently, but the "Progress Shots" (screenshots taken over the course of the project from the same positions and give an idea of how construction has progressed) are being updated fairly regularly and reach back to day 1.
