We Congratulate Jimmy Liu on his acceptance to the Product Design field at Art Center College of Design with a scholarship of $10,500 per year $42,000 four years!  Additional colleges include: Product Design (Otis College of Art and Design - scholarship $9,000 per year $36,000 four years) Jimmy Liu’s overall work comes from a sincere desire to improve humanity.   Early on Jimmy demonstrated promise at a young age where he watched his father paint. Paper being scarce, Jimmy took to the wall and began doodling and leading to analyses of deconstructing Spider-man’s web shooters. Eventually motivating him to pursue a serious practice in Product Design.   During his time here he was very interested in materiality and how it could be a factor on global preservation and how new inventions like aerogel, which is a material that is mostly filled with air resists heat and many other properties efficiently. In his projects, researching Graphene, he realized this would completely change the way electronics work and easy for mass production and for conductive properties with allowance for easy transportation and maintenance. Polymers for recyclable and reusable and efficient materials have sparked his continuing pursuit of environmental activism to advance civilization. This has inspired traits and personal practice in Art and Design, evolving into the catalyst for Jimmy’s passion in product design “futurism”.   Closely following careers of Dieter rams, James Dyson, Richard Sapper other influence from his high school contributed to his drive.  One of his influential experiences was joining JROTC for a summer in camp Pendleton despite his asthma. Despite disadvantages and the never give up attitude carried on into his life and studies. I have seen Jimmy very enthusiastic and despite being the weakest student in life drawing at first. His resilience paid off.   He worked very hard to catch up technically to other students and eventually became quite a skill full painter.    In his future school he hopes to take on classes like:3D design and much more classes on Anatomy and Ergonomics: Human Factors Connections through Color and Design, Woodworking, Metal, Digital and other related Design courses with entrepreneurial aspects.  “My interest grew even more when I got an opportunity to take classes with Roman S. Iniguez and Omar Gallegos in the West California Academy of Art and Design because I believe I improved my art after I got to study under them. My product designs try to reflect ingenuity as much as I could and want to make and improve better functioning products that may improve the world. I believe my art reflects the ability to improve the quality of life for people and could be used to show environmental responsibility.” Jimmy said.  Jimmy also participated in projects in dt008 at PCC; and learned ACAD and physics in Temple City High School. He integrated ideas of mechanisms and physics into my work to try and get better designs.

Additional colleges accepted:
  Entertainment Design is designing concept for characters, vehicles, props, and environments, for fictional worlds, and digitally render for: (films, video games, animation, and theme parks, etc.). Students learn to make their designs creative, innovative, visually appealing as well as functional.   Chloe has been part of the Academy for about two years where she pursued illustration ad Entertainment Design.   Her skills and talent have placed her into the top tier group of students. Her work demonstrates an evolution of understanding of form and mastery.   Chole’s life drawing aesthetic and color is one of her best qualities. Life Drawing for Chole was a crucial class to maintain and heighten her skill set. Many US colleges consider life drawings from a model /observational, among the first and most important components in students’ portfolios. The reason why, is that, essentially, they see how well you understand: forms, proportions, perspective, shading, weight, balance, tension, perceptive, and all the fundamentals. WCAAD offers students, instructed life drawing classes including, anatomy, working with various material, and techniques on a weekly basis. Students will learn from a live model and include learning from mix media.  This year, Chloe focused on refining her digital skills matching her formal training with a sense of exploration. Painting, sculptures and her continuing sense of creativity gained in the WCAAD program will benefit her in the long run for a well-rounded aptitude. Her design sensibility was always well researched and her desire to put in as much effort to make a mark in her work really drove her passion for success. One of the best characteristics to see at WCAAD is great attitudes and Chole Wen is no acceptations.   Graduating from WCAAD motivated her to continue working on her own. Her social media is filled with current work and we are happy she can keep her enthusiasm going.  WCAAD offers college-bound students a unique combination of practical expertise and mentorship to help them develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence to choose the right school for them – and get in! Students will work one-to-one with faculty to develop an intense individual focused and disciplined-specific portfolio.
