Re: Letter of Application, Assistant Professor of Art in Photography & Printmaking

Dear Search Committee,

Please accept the enclosed materials as my application for the position of Assistant Professor of Art in Photography & Printmaking to begin in August 2016. Teaching printmaking, photography, and foundation courses has afforded me the opportunity to refine my pedagogical skills while I continue to grow as a professional artist. Based on my research, Northwest Missouri State University believes in emphasizing craft and concept to mold students …show more content…

I am well equipped through my formal education and professional experience to teach both analog and digital areas of photography from black and white chemical based processes to digital input and output including Adobe Creative Suite. In addition, I am well-versed in the intricacies of numerous traditional printmaking processes, but more importantly, I have the experience of using non-toxic printmaking techniques such as water based printing inks and copper plate etchants like ferric chloride, and by doing so, I have lectured on how to implement these techniques into the contemporary classroom. Through my duties as the Studio Arts Technician at The College of Wooster, in addition to my previous professional and academic photography experience, I have the ability to oversee all aspects of both the photography and the printmaking studios including routine chemical and equipment maintenance, enforcing safety standards set by OSHA, and the supervision of student …show more content…

I am currently organizing and teaching free weekend workshops at The College of Wooster where I share my professional experiences with students such as photographing artwork, alternative photographic and printmaking processes, and how to create and maintain an online artistic presence through website construction and social media. I also have gained valuable experience as the curator of the student art gallery and supervising the installment of the senior thesis exhibitions. Furthermore, as a graduate student, I assisted in the maintenance of the print studio, mentored international students in the photography studio, administered the undergraduate print organization, and proposed and managed a communal studio print night where undergraduates could come assist me with printing and vice versa. I am committed to the institutions where I teach and I believe in keeping academic course work relevant to contemporary trends in the arts and listening to peers to create

Many people from my cohort and I keep in touch, sharing stories from our diverse teaching experiences, giving each other advice, and congratulating each other on our achievements. Though it would be different to be part of an online cohort, I believe this will be a positive difference as it will allow me to learn from others from even more diverse situations. My approach to art education continues to align directly with that of OSU’s, as I strive to foster social change and advance public interest through the arts and visual culture. Having this connection to the Department of Arts Administration, Education and Policy, and having already experienced some of the exceptional education it has to offer, I am confident that this is the only program through which I wish to receive my Master’s

I have found myself to be rooted deep down with my christian ministry group Chi Alpha. We are a group of students that seeks to make relationships within our religion of christianity in order to form a loving community for myself and many others to be a part of. Recently, I have found myself to be useful when it comes to running the soundboard at our worship and collaboration nights where I come in early in order to set up chords and mix the worship band as they practice. This has been an excellent experience as I have been able to keep up my love for music as the same time of attending university. My active participation to this after class activity has developed who I am as a person.

In my opinion, I think that gentrification has a more positive effect on urban communities. Gentrification seems to uproot poor communities, which are traditionally non-white, to make certain areas more suitable for wealthy people (theperspective.com). It seems that gentrification can boost the local economy in low-income areas. The money given to the community will positively increase business and community investments and this will create jobs for those unemployed. Gentrification will increase tax revenue, the population, and property values.

For a long time, I had been contemplating whether graduate school is needed for me, but after this insight, I will most definitely be looking into schools soon. I was shown how networking can really be a benefit to your career. Networking is not something I have been as comfortable with approaching, but Brian shared many experiences with me that stood out. I know now that I will try harder to reach out in friendship to other photographers, along with researching photographer associations. The last big point that I took from this interview was the importance of keeping your morals high, and the church close.

During my job shadow with Ms. Eileen Chalupa on Doane’s Campus I learned how to be creative, come up with my own style of graphic designing, and most importantly to never give up or lose hope on a project that someone has asked for. Her job is the head graphic designer at Doane University. Some questions that I asked her during the job shadow were what are some positive aspects and negative aspects of working as a graphic designer, are the hours flexible for the job and another question I asked was what training did she do to get ready for this type of work and if it required any type of education to complete. One of the reasons she chose this career was because her mother went through the desktop publishing program at Southeast Community
