Day1: helping Dot with her test project pieces

Hey, Everyone, I'm Kat and I'll be a senior at Uarts this September. Craft +Material Studies (Fibers) is my major and for my internship this summer I'm working with an alum from the fibers program. I will be helping Dot Vile construct heavy material pieces of hers, and getting a head start on my senior thesis project. This was the first day and it was amazing! It was also my first time using a double cut saw, I was a little intimidated at first because of the sparks but after the first cut, I became very used to the process. The pieces I cut out were for a test piece that involves heavy materials such as concrete and metal. After cutting Dot and I went to HomeDepot to pick up some supplies for the next time we meet up. We bought more concrete and I bought some materials to make test pieces myself for the senior thesis.

    Wow that looks interesting and fun although I would likely cut off my hand or start a fire which is why I am a painter. Hope your internship is going well and you are creating some cool pieces with Dot!

Slam Magazine Cover Shoot

So for my first shoot, I was lucky enough to help assist on set for the SLAM Magazine cover with Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons.

I was able to learn more about strobes and working with big name clients. I even got a SLAM magazine t-shirt!

Week 3 Art Restoration with Kat and Megan

-
Week 3 The UArts alumnus I’m working for is Megan Becker, who pursued the same internship program I’m part of when she was an Illustration student at the university. She has been the one handing me an airbrush and letting me (tentatively) try my hand at stain remediation for water damaged pieces. Megan and I are a good alum-student match because of our shared interest in illustration, and quieter introverted nature. Although Megan’s and my art is very different, we share an understanding for visual meaning and narrative.  The weeks at ART are fairly reliable work-load wise, but on Wednesdays we get to do something a little different. Megan teaches art classes for young students directly after work on Wednesday, so she takes me with her to where her classes are. Of course, I can’t roam around aimlessly while she works, so I take her car to Dunkin Donuts and sit outside, sipping a black coffee and reading The Sandman, volume 5. I enjoy these little quiet moments where I final

Introduction

Yo!!!!!! My name is Malik Murray, I am a rising junior photography major. I am more than excited to be working under Uarts Alumni Lou Caltabniano and John Pushnick. I started actually a little before the school year ended. So far it has been fun and a great learning experience. I'll be getting into detail on some of the shoots I have worked on so far with the guys in later post but so far I have traveled to NJ, Baltimore, and of course Philly for some really dope stuff. Hope everyone has a great summer and enjoy their time gaining experience in a variety of art forms!!
