<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a>Hi, my name is Charles West and I am an IMGD major at WPI from Haverhill, Massachusetts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Art is a very important part of my life right now. Obviously, I am an IMGD major, which in itself has a pretty large art portion and being successful as one is certainly a potent life goal of mine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outside of my studies, I spend a significant amount of my time practicing Martial Arts, specifically the Okinawan style of Uechi Ryu. I’ve done it since I was 5, and have since achieved a rank of Yondan, in English being 4th degree black belt. My training along with those I have met through it has played a large role in who I am today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I typically do enjoy creative arts, I’ve played piano for quite a few years (though admittedly it has been a little bit since I last played) , and also quite enjoy drawing. Though I’ve only really taken proper lessons for the prior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Possibly inspired by my enjoyment of creation, in high school I took up Drafting and CAD, and through that learned a lot about that respective trade. I enjoyed working with the technology, and in that same vein would eventually come to be majoring in IMGD and also learning various methods of programming. My programming knowledge almost entirely consists of what I have learned here at WPI, right now consisting of an understanding of Java and C++.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below are various drawings and other art forms I’ve made this past year. They’re not the most recent forms of art I’ve made, but I usually don’t take many pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a>
