ZACHARY KELLY-Graphic Design
Degree: B.F.A. 2D Design, M.F.A.2D Studio
Courses Taught: Introduction to Graphics and Design, Graphic Design and Production, Advanced Graphic Design
Bio: I live in LaGrange with Jessie, my beautiful wife. We have 2 dogs (Saber and Thatcher) and 2 cats (Finley and Arty). I have a few hobbies: I paint; draw; create fantasy-style maps; 3D Print; play Dungeons and Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, Minecraft, Elder Scrolls: Skyrim; write adventure and horror short stories; sound recording and editing; and just generally tinker and build stuff with my beautiful wife. In the same vein, I have a whole lot of interests. Among my favorites are Art Theory related, going into why people feel compelled to make art in the first place. Like, what makes a person look at a blank canvas or sheet of paper and want to fill it with something? Also, I am a huge fan of telling stories and I think the act of telling a story is one of the most important things humans do. It’s probably why I am so interested in telling and experiencing stories in my hobbies.
