Lecture 1

So today was our first Freshman 2D Principles lecture.  Gerard focused most of the lecture on technology, and on an overview of the next couple of weeks.  He mentioned work study jobs, and the Tyler Student Alliance.  He walked us through what guests we will be having in the next weeks and they include : Peter Hanley (Manager for Technology Support), Scott Rigby (BaseKamp, New Art World), Philip Glahn (Professor of Painting/Drawing/Sculpture), Kate Cuffari (Object Observer @ PMA), Bradley Citwin (Illustrator, Graphic Designer), Sharon Louden (Artist, Animator), Eileen Neff (Photographer), Douglas Bucci (Assistant Professor of Crafts Department).  Also the lectures will include an advising session, a panel discussion about new media (Etsy, PayPal, etc.), people from Environmental Health and Safety, and then some more keynote speakers.  Hopefully these lectures will be helpful in the future!
