Hiya, I’m Hayden Glass. I’m a sophomore IMGD BA major with a focus on tech art and a minor in Chinese language. I’m originally from the north shore of Massachusetts, so you’ll see I am somewhat used to these crazy weather patterns.
Art has always been a huge part of my life. Ever since I was little, my family kept a whole closet full of art supplies. I now have dragged almost all of them here to continue pursuing all the kinds of arts I can enjoy. I do watercolors, oil paints, acrylics, sculpting, needle felting, jewelry making, and both 2d and 3d animation. I occasionally sew as well, but I don’t have the time to go back and forth to the makerspace. In the past I wanted to become a singer, but now I’m just happy to be part of the choir on campus.
My experience with making games ranges from rudimentary text-based games to board games. The first game I tried to make was on the popular kids coding site scratch.mit.edu. I don’t remember the details of the very first one I made, though I do remember attempting to recreate minion rush on scratch. After that, I attended a coding summer camp hosted at MIT where I made a choose-your-own-adventure game. Funnily enough, I had to make one of those for a math class in 10th grade once. In 11th grade, I took a project based history and English class. One of the projects I made was a board game demonstrating how the class system affects people’s chances for success in life. Think the Game Of Life but some of the players get extra starting money and get to skip entire sections.
Before college, I had never taken a proper art course besides the required ones in elementary and middle school. The only exception is a singular animation class that I took during the COVID lockdown, which I didn’t really learn much from.
gorgeous- i really like your traditional canvases!!
Impressive: I love the monkey so much!!!! The different mediums on display are so impressive
Striking: I love how you use color and your pencil stokes in a piece. It really makes them feel alive
Striking – both your color palettes and choice of subjects are compelling, and you do a great job composing each work of art you make.
Cute – THE NEEDLE FELT CREATURE I LOVE IT!! also all of your color palettes are gorgeous I really like the overgrown big roboty one
Impressive – The way you used the white background as a lineart for the panda, while simply sticking to black and white without overcrowding the page is impressive.
Colorful! Your paintings use so many different colors, they all pop out of the page and shine. Clear attention is put into shading as wel- is that da vinky
colorful – the varation in hue in the traditional works is very nice.
gorgeous – The lighting in the landscapes is really well done, and the paintings look great as well!
Cute – I love the needle-felted little guy!
Funny: I thought the comic at the end was pretty funny and had a creative layout.
Inventive: I like how, in your physical media pieces, you take advantage of the medium itself to add some detail. I especially like the blue drips on your painted piece
Cute, the panda is adorable.
impressive: i absolutely love your work. it is super detailed, and i love your use of color to tell a story.
Funny: I like your Da Vinky Mona Lisa. Beautiful landscape and use of color in that piece as well.
