Our courses are really structured around conversation and critique. There's not a lot of lecturing, there's some demonstration and then you're going out and you're doing the work, bringing it in, we're talking about it as a group. And so then you have a chance to learn not just from whoever the instructor is, but also from other students and learn to present your work and talk about that work, which ultimately, you're going to have to do no matter what you end up doing. We've got a great design lab that's got all the software students use -- Adobe Creative Suite -- we have a photo studio next door here, we have a painting and drawing studio, as well as a ceramics studio that students have access to.
Our professors give us a lot of opportunities to experiment with different styles of art. There's a ton of different art classes like printmaking, watercolor painting... Our professors have a ton of experience and connections that they use in the classroom, implementing meetings with them, or showing us their work that they do outside of class in order to give us a better understanding of what we could be doing right now. They are continuing to learn as we learn and teach us knew things that they're experiencing.
Tabor's design program gave me a framework. And that framework, that kind of launching pad, allowed me to stay curious and to be disciplined. That was good because I still take that into a daily level. That same discipline exists in my daily working life.
