Foundation Lecture: Doug Bucci

Doug Bucci is a maker at heart, he strives to create new and interesting objects, often utilizing biology or raw data in some way. He makes good use of CAD, 3D printing, and other technologies in his work. He is currently a professor at the Tyler School of Art, and teaches in the jewelry and metals department. He gave a very interesting and entertaining presentation, based around his works and how he came to be in his current position. He emphasized the importance of keeping oneself uncomfortable in order to facilitate learning and personal growth. that is probably the main point I took away from the lecture, and I will mow try to embrace the discomfort and try to use it to mold myself as an artist. Keeping this in mind will likely have an impact on what I choose to do over the next couple of years.
