HOIC Work Shop: Collaborative Storyboarding
Collaborative Storyboarding:
Students will participate in learning about how to frame creatively when making storyboards for their own stories. They will look at examples for creative panels and learn to correlate where story beats get met. They will learn about what kind of framing they can use for certain story beats such as wide shots and close shots. They will also learn how to be inspired at a fast pace. Using the example from Harmony Becker, she applies her own multicultural background and inspiration for language learning in her works. Students will also collaborate with each other in a multi-process to create a storyboard. In a rotation, Students will pass their works going through the thumbnail and concept phase, inking phase and colouring phase to make a full page comic. Rationale:

Teaching Philosophy and Resume
My Educational Philosophy:
A fundamental philosophy is the conceptual idea of the Constructivism Theory; the philosophy promotes students to apply aspects and meaning gained from their lives with the education and knowledge of their peers as well as educators. Education must allow students to deep dive and create an environment that allows for discussion to further integration and openness of contemporary ideas. With the internet accessible for most students, education must adapt to push learners to discover their own voice within education and outside of school.
My Educational Philosophy Updated:
Students must adapt and learn through transformative means. Education is about building on top of prior knowledge, but it is the teacher’s job to encourage the students to think beyond facts that are just readily available with the rise of the digital world. Students must be cognitive and internalized “why” in their education and explore the contemporary ideas that pushes students past generalized facts. Education must allow students to uncover their own intentionality and become open to embrace new ideas they never thought possible. Beyond one’s self, it should be the goal of students to collaborate and share ideas amongst each other to build community both inside the school and outside the school.

Visiting Artist: Holly Cahill
Description: Holly Cahill was a Visiting Artist at University Galleries in Normal IL. Her work revolves creating and making her own natural dyes to include in her textile works. In the Visiting Artist Course at Illinois State University, Cahill taught us how to gather natural materials to create dyes while using a shibori process to dye cotton and silk fabrics. Shibori: To wring, squeeze and press: a dying practice that is rooted in Japanese tradition. Rationale: Holly Cahill was amazing! She showed true passion in her art and dyes. Looking at practicing artists is imperative, especially when teaching students about working artists. This was also a great experience to work with material that not always present in student's education. It was such an honor to the natural dying process! The final project that Holly Cahill provided us as was a great inspiration to use for my future students. St. Louis Art Museum: Discovering Contemporary Art
Description: Wangechi Mutu is a contemporary artist involved with installation works revolving around Kenyan mythologies, environmentalism, complications of race, and colonization. Her work, "My Cave Call", 2020, (colour, sound), 11 minutes, 33 seconds, looped, "emphasizes the importance of being attentive to our relationship with nature and the earth and retracing our ancient wisdoms". Rationale: Looking at contemporary artists helps us as educators teach cultural awareness as well as what artists are making that relates to the era we live today.

I am a child of divorce. Much of my current art practice revolves around this confrontation of the conflicting thoughts I have with my parents. The experience of this exhibition provided me the skills to further my role as leader and organizer. |
