3D FOUNDATION

 
   
   

During the 2004/2005 academic year I served as a teaching assistant for UC Santa Barbara's 2D/3D/4D foundation classes. In these courses, I led a section of students twice a week in I conducted critiques, led classroom discussions of reading, provided technical assistance, and, where possible, designed exercises to support the course curriculum. In the Summer session of 2005, I worked as a lecturer for our 3D foundation course (7C: Intro Spatial Studies at UCSB). In this class, I designed assignments, led critiques, and gave two slide-lectures per week covering sculpture and architecture of the past and current centuries.
