My name is Amelia, I’m a freshman Mechanical Engineering Major, and I’m also attempting to get a teaching license. I’m originally from Western Massachusetts, but my family moved to Southern Maine when I was pretty young.\u00a0 I was very into art and theatre when I was younger. I competed in the Peace Poster Competition for three years in middle school, and won for my state in the 8th grade. I also started acting in the 4th grade and ran wardrobe (3 years) for my school theatre company. In high school I became heavily involved in my school’s robotics team and engineering program, leading me to WPI.<\/p>\n

My first real experience with digital art software was actually in\u00a0 a CAD\/technical drawing course at my high school.\u00a0 My TA for the course ran a unit on\u00a0using Blender for 3D\u00a0<\/span>modeling\u00a0<\/span>and animation. You can do some pretty detailed work with the software, but we stuck to basic animal modeling and animation, given the tim<\/span>e restrictions. I dug up an old photo for a model of a gazelle when it was nearing finalization.<\/span><\/p>\n

The summer of my senior year I got interested in drawing using tablets and online software. I bought a cheap drawing tablet and worked using FireAlpaca just for fun. I mostly doodled and experimented with various styles and with the capabilities of the program. Below are a few thing I did while testing it out.\"\"<\/p>\n

For my Low-Res Icon I chose to make an icon of a pine tree in the snow. We’ve got a lot of pine trees up in the pine tree state so it makes a good symbol of my home.\u00a0 Also, when I was a kid my siblings and I spent a lot of time playing in the woods, so I have a lot of strong memories associated with the nature of Maine, especially in winter (plus, they’re really pretty, especially in the snow).\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
