ArtCenter College of Design Launches New Student Video Series

By Megan (Weyrauch) Johnson on June 26, 2017

To provide a glimpse into the journeys of five students at one of the world’s preeminent art and design colleges, ArtCenter College of Design launched a new video series featuring student self-portraits, according to a recent press release.

Each student shared their creative journey and revealed personal details about their early inspiration, their decision to attend art school, their current projects, and their long-term goals. Each student was commissioned to spend 12 weeks meeting once per month to workshop their projects through the final cut, receiving light guidance from a small team of staff from Admissions and Marketing and Communications.

Here are the students who participated in the video series.

Phillip Burrows – Phillip started drawing as a kid against a house full of athletes. He went to Miami’s Design and Architecture Senior High (DASH) and later to ArtCenter’s Entertainment Design program.

Miguel Harry – Miguel learned about the work of Artcenter alumni while studying engineering in Medellin, Colombia, and decided to join the Product Design department in Pasadena.

Yeun Kim – Yeun joined ArtCenter as a Graphic Design major due to a love of literature while growing up in South Korea. During a study away trip, Yeun collaborated on a pop-up installation with design students in Havana, Cuba, which led her to explore spatial design through sound poetry.

David Sanchez – David turned his early passion for cartoons into storytelling skills at ArtCenter’s Entertainment Design program’s Character Animation track.

Cristina Wilson – Cristina uses her quirky sense of humor, creativity, and passionate positivity as an ArtCenter Illustration student.

“We’re often asked ‘What’s it really like to be an ArtCenter student,’” said Kit Baron, senior vice president of Admissions and Enrollment Management for ArtCenter. “We hope the stories of these five talented individuals helps answer that common question and provide prospective students with a realistic glimpse into their world.”

New episodes debut in early 2018 as ArtCenter brings on a new batch of students with a diverse array of experience representing additional majors. Video production at ArtCenter College of Design is made possible by Bruce Heavin (BFA 93) and Lynda Weinman through the establishment of the Bruce Heavin Media Production Studio to support online learning and increase awareness of the College.

Founded in 1930, ArtCenter College of Design is a global leader in art and design education located in Pasadena, California, offering 11 undergraduate and seven graduate degrees. For more information, visit ArtCenter.edu.
