My name is Sydney Gardner and I am from New York City (specifically Upper West Manhattan). I\u2019m here as an IMGD major with a concentration in Tech Art and a minor in Computer Science.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve always been a very artsy and creative person and have been making things for as long as I can remember. My affinity for art has long made me want to pursue it, but admittedly I\u2019m still working out what fields I like. I\u2019ve done a fair share of traditional art and drawing as well as digital work. I\u2019ve always been a big animation nerd and have had a lot of fun playing around with different animation programs and tools. I\u2019ve also branched out into 3D modeling and animation as well and am loving it. Outside of the digital art sphere I\u2019ve tried my hand at a variety of crafts such as sewing, embroidery, sculpture, wood-burning, and jewelry making.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for programming, I have experience in Java, C, C++, HTML5, and WPI favorite: Racket. I work at a STEAM-themed summer camp, so I have experience with block coding such as Scratch and Micro:Bit (with Micro:Bit being particularly relevant to this class because of its similarities to Makey Makey). I also worked a little with Arduino and Adafruit products. I have also recently gotten the chance to learn how to use 3D printers and look forward to trying to use that more in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned before I absolutely love animation and some of my favorite shows and movies are <em>Avatar the Last Airbender<\/em>, <em>Hilda, Gravity Falls<\/em>, <em>Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse<\/em>, <em>Lilo &amp; Stitch<\/em>, and <em>Soul<\/em>. I also have a very eclectic taste in music and listen to a variety of pop-punk, alternative, pop, folk, a little bit of metal and a lot of indie. I also take a lot of inspiration from games, with some of my all-time favorites being <em>Undertale<\/em>, <em>Hades<\/em>, <em>A Short Hike<\/em>, and <em>Celeste<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is some of my work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a
