<\/p>\nMy name is Virginia Massa, but I prefer being called Ginny. I\u2019m a sophomore Biology\/ Biotechnology major. Art is something that I practice in different ways. For example, I love baking. I enjoy making things out of pulled sugar, or just twirling sugar threads and seeing what happens. I have also worked with fondant a bit and actually made the cake toppers for my brother\u2019s wedding a few years ago. In fact, a lot of my art is done in the kitchen. My family gets pretty serious about pumpkin carving, and I\u2019ve carved one for as long as I can remember. I have experience with digital art and 3D modeling.\u00a0Although digital art can go past boundaries and be very creative, creating physical art is also fun.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t have much experience with coding. In high school I took a computer science class where we were taught the basics of Python and Java, most of which I have forgotten. My roommate and I have messed around with her Arduino a little bit, so I have a small amount of experience with that.<\/p>\n
Music, video games, and cartoons are\u00a0some of my largest influence. I really enjoy listening to and singing along to\u00a0music. My favorite songs tend to be classic rock and alternative. Although I am a bit rusty, I can play the flute and piano.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is an example of a symmetry project that we were assigned in an art class. I really like working with the unique shape of the octopus. They are really interesting creatures.<\/p>\n

These are the cake toppers I made for my brother\u2019s wedding. They are only about two inches\u00a0tall, and it was challenging to get small detail in. I am happy with the end result though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
