Meet the Teachers
Sarah ZimmermanI was born and raised in Westminster, Colorado. Art has been a huge part of my life for quite a few years. I enjoy painting but I'm also skilled in sculptural work like pottery, welding, and woodworking. Making art is my way to communicate with the world around me.
Before I got involved in creating, I was primarily a writer. In high school, I wrote a 242 page book and spent most of my free time creatively writing. Towards the end of my high school education, I realized that art is an easier way for me to communicate than writing. Ever since then, I have been and strive to be an artist. One of the things I want to instill in this class is the importance of art in communication. I will be graduating in Spring, 2019 with a BFA in art education. I'm so excited to use my knowledge to enhance the next generation! |
Joel SchreinerIt was twenty-one years ago, almost twenty-two, that I was born in Loveland, Colorado. Growing up, I always talked about becoming an veterinarian because I loved animals. That quickly changed because even though it would be helping them, I couldn't stand the idea that I may be hurting them.
As for why I became fascinated with the study of art, and contracted myself for four and a half years of it, it started back when I first started thinking creatively with Calvin and Hobbes comics and a The Dog toy from McDonalds. From there I began my love for comics, illustration, writing, storyboarding, and animating. New ideas came to be developed and stories were written to expand on both existing characters and new ones. This included: two books, a web-comic series (in progress), a few animations via Nintendo 3DS, and a lot of concept sketches (ongoing) to determine a style. The goal I have in continuing my education and the education of the next generation is to nurture that spark of creation. I want kids to grow up with wonder in their heart and believing that the skies are merely the threshold for which their potential can reach. The only limits they have are the ones they lock themselves in to. Why establish a limit if there never really was one to begin with? |
