My name is Bonnie Buckeye, and I am a
senior at The Ohio State University. I graduated
from
While I enjoyed many of my studio art classes, such as ceramics, glass, photography and sculpture, I found that I was really drawn to the technology and computer-based classes. I have always enjoyed Photoshop and have spent many long days working with the program to create unique pieces of art. I also greatly enjoyed my 3-D visual art classes, and when I discovered the program “Cinema 4-D” I was absolutely enthralled. I enjoy working on the computer and using programs to manipulate and produce works of art. I also enjoy working with high-tech machines and innovative concepts, so I felt that Art and Technology was the program for me.
I have had some challenges in my studies of art. Certain mediums, such as painting, do not come as easily to me as do others. Although I do well and still enjoy them, I could never see myself making a living drawing or painting. However, I have found that programs such as cinema 4-D allow me to use my natural creativity to the best of my abilities by giving me tools to create the unique works of art in a precise manner. I feel that technology is the way of the future, and I feel that those who are at the head of it, will be the ones with a voice in the future world. I would love to be a part of that voice, and to be able to make an impact on the world of tomorrow, for artists, designers, innovators, and consumers alike.
