Hey, everyone!

My name's Megan, though I also go by "Kazea." I was born in Vermont, but I've been here in Ottawa for a couple years now taking courses at Algonquin. My dream is to be a video game developer for RPGs and the like, though I do also have an interest in comics. I was originally in the Game Development program, but I haven't any talent for programming, so I eventually moved to this program! (Starting with Concept Art Foundations.)

I admittedly don't have have much confidence in my work, but I do love art and hope to get better, especially it comes to my personal projects. Some I've been working on for over a decade now! As for me myself, I'm a huge anime nerd, an avid gamer, and your all-around typical geek, I guess. I can be a little shy and awkward  around people I don't know, but once I am comfortable with someone, I tend to talk way too much. XD'

Hope to have a great year with you all! I'm looking forward to getting know you guys better as we strive to improve our craft~

I'm an itty bitty baby fresh from highschool

90% of my life is getting too attached to my OCs/their lore and video games.
I like games like Fallout, Bioshock, Skyrim, Legend of Zelda and the 80% of the Fire Emblem series.

You wanted a selfie, so here's a picture of me sitting on the edge of an active volcano.

My name is Zoë but a lot of my friends call me Spooky or Spooks (due to my love for Xfiles and all that jazz)

I was born and raised in Ottawa, although Algonquin is a little bit out of my stomping grounds.

I've been drawing since before I could hold a pencil, and I went to Canterbury for the visual arts program.
I'm not too good at telling people more about myself, but if you ask me anything, I'm more than happy to talk!

Can't wait to get to know you guys and work with you throughout the year!

Thanks for the Orientation, it was super fun and very instructive! The only feedback I would need to say is maybe we could have met all our teachers? But it was nice to meet other students! Thanks again

It’s always exciting to meet a new batch of students. In my class we’re going to cover a variety of ways to draw objects and environments, using both traditional and digital drawing methods, used by industry professionals.

The main message I would like to pass on:  Come to class ready to draw! There will be plenty of lecture/instruction along the way, but during class time, expect to be doing “hands on” exercises and assignments.

With that in mind, please bring a few firm leaded pencils to class (HB is OK), and a sharpener. Also, bring a favorite pen for sketching, and some paper towel (or similar) for inkblots. I’ll provide some paper on the first day.

See you in class!

David Badour

Class of 2016 Grad Morris Ogbowu reflects on how his journey began with Illustration & Concept Art.

# data[].attributes.body
"About a year ago, I decided to switch programs and leave the University I was previously enrolled in for a future in illustration. I had studied a course in the Illustration and Concept Art program for a semester in my previous University and realized that this program could offer me exactly the kind of education that I required and also the kind of creative environment that I would fit perfectly into. So I decided to take a chance and move to Algonquin since I decided that it would be the perfect place for me to harvest my passion.

After spending a semester in the Illustration and Concept Art program, I now know for a fact that I made the right decision in coming to this program at Algonquin College. I fit perfectly in an environment which makes me feel right at home with a lot of like-minded people who constantly inspire me to get better. I am surrounded by professors who pay special attention to each student and aim to prepare the students to become professionals in the industry.

I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who aspires to be a part of the Art industry and more importantly, I would recommend Algonquin College as a perfect learning ground for everyone."

– Manoj Thayalan, Graduate Class of 2016
