First Vision 218 meeting

Come join our first VISION218 meeting at 1:00 pm in room ARTB 211.

Hello everyone,

First , we would like to thank all of you for your interest in VISION218. We are very excited to meet you all. As you may know, our mission is to create a design community, specifically graphic design, at El Camino . However, we welcome all forms of designs: architecture, fashion, media, animation, and others. We want to create a social atmosphere where we can gain more knowledge about design.

As a club we have been involved with many professional projects and we are planning to have more in the future. We also have fun outings planned; such as, exhibitions to various galleries as well as attend lectures to understand the industry of design and if you love good food this is the club for you!

We look forward  to see you all there!!

As a reminder Vision 218 also tweets useful information regarding design like tutorials, design articles, inspiration and much much more! Check us out! http://twitter.com/vision218

Community College to Cal State

Let me tell you about my personal experience in transferring from a community college to a Cal State University and the mentality that I learned is helpful to have when doing so. I can tell you that there are great schools in California, but you can only be successful if you are committed and discipline yourself.

I am currently attending California State University, Fullerton as a graphic design major. I believe it is a great school and should be one of your alternatives when you think about transferring. However, the competition is tough and I felt overwhelmed at the beginning. There are many art students that are currently working in their field, and therefore they already have more experience and skills than most community college students.

Let me tell you about my illustration class, which I quickly found out requires a lot of work. For every new assignment 60 thumbnails are mandatory and we finish a new assignment every two weeks. In addition, you get harsh criticism from the teacher, who expects a lot more from you. Of course, that is because he wants his student’s to do their best for every assignment.  read more »

Student Show Art Gallery '09

 El Camino’s Student Show is finally here! On Friday, May 22 from 6-9 pm, the gallery will have a compilation of student work from digital art and photography to fine art and jewelry. On the same night the art building will have an open house where teachers will display more student work done in class. This is an excellent opportunity for students to show their work to friends, family and even reps from other schools. But even if you do not have a piece in the gallery it is inspiring to see some of the great work the student here at El Camino have done. Furthermore, it is also great for prospective El Camino art students to see what kind of work is done here. 

As an art student, I believe seeing the great work in the student show will both inspire you to better yourself in the work you do and even make you want to try out other art classes the art department has to offer. read more »
