TannyaPresident 3rd Year Major: MCB Favorite Artists: @pix_bun on Twitter, Monet Favorite Mediums: acrylic, pastel, digital, ink I joined Outlet Fall 2019 as a freshman to keep art in my life. Other artistic opportunities near campus were either too much of a commitment or too expensive, so I'm really glad Outlet existed for someone like me! I've been doing art as long as I can remember, and dedicated many of my hours to going to art studio in high school. I also started watching anime and drawing anime art in middle school. My other hobbies include making kombucha, singing (making weeb covers basically), and volleyball. Follow on Twitter and Instagram: @maquiran_ thereseTreasurer 2nd Year Major: Intended Economics Favorite Artists: Van Gogh, on insta soft_bloom, amii.ceramics, theforestmori Favorite Mediums: polymer clay, acrylics, gouache I joined Outlet in Fall 2020 to make friends and practice my art more consistently. I loved to draw and paint ever since I was young. I remember tracing over coloring sheets and getting excited for the times when my teacher would bring her artist friend to give lessons on different famous artists. Recently, I've been making little trinkets and pins out of polymer clay. Another hobby of mine is playing video games, especially League of Legends. RUBYStudio Head Third Year Major: Art Practice and Psychology Favorite Artists: Molly Crabapple Favorite Mediums: Oil paint and charcoal I joined Outlet in Sprint of 2021, as a way to find further creative communities at Cal during remote learning. Being off campus, it was hard to feel a connection to other students and find space to create safely alongside others, but Outlet’s remote workshops provided a great opportunity for both of those things. I’ve always been a creative person, but spaces like Outlet and classroom settings have allowed me to explore the projects I find most fulfilling. In addition to Outlet, I’m part of the Cal Women’s Rugby Team and a member of the Hoyt Hall Co-Op. JEssicaOutreach and Events Coordinator First Year Major: Business Favorite Artists: Jun Mochizuki , Yana Toboso, Ross Draws (YT), theCecile (YT), nanniimo (insta), yuumeiart (insta) Favorite Mediums: Pencil, pastel, watercolor, digital, acrylic Hello hello~ I joined Outlet on discord during the summer and I’m excited to experience the club in person this year. I hope to further explore my creative expression through Outlet’s workshop and pitch ideas to help the club grow. This year, I’ll be managing social media for Outlet. I’ve had art lessons for a few years when I was younger. I like doing live sketches and love looking for inspiration on Pinterest. Recently, I’ve been trying a more anime style because I love animation. Another hobby of mine is collecting Pop figures, listening to music, and watching movies/ tv shows. I’m also a big Disney fan since I grew up next to Disneyland. |
krischanCo President 2nd Year Major: Computer Science Favorite Artists: On Insta - asliverofsun, liieyo_, patofry_, yourfreakyneighbourh, 14.4ml. On Twitter - celexcity Favorite Mediums: Digital, pencil, ink Hi. I joined Outlet in Fall 2020 so I could learn a useful skill and make friends during the pandemic. I never took any formal classes in art, but I always enjoyed looking at Shin Megami Tensei/Yakuza fanart, which was my inspiration to take art more seriously. Other than art, I enjoy reading, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and making video games. Fun fact: I own the domain name devilsummoner.com, but I haven't made anything cool with it yet. RobinStudio Head Graduated Spring 2020 Major: Nutritional Sciences - Physiology and Metabolism Favorite Artists: WLOP, Kuno (Twitter: @KunoMD),Sam Yang (IG: @samdoesart) Favorite Mediums: Digital I joined Outlet Spring 2021 because I loved the community and wanted to help support artists at Berkeley! I always loved drawing and digital art ever since my mom started a job as a graphic designer when I was a kid. I thought it was cool to be able to draw my favorite characters the way I wanted to and create my own stories and worlds for them. After talking to more artists and getting more involved with the art community, I learned how rewarding it was to learn different fundamentals and principles that could help me get one step closer to creating amazing art like my favorite artists. Art has become such an essential part of my life and it has helped me appreciate concepts such as color theory, perspective, and human anatomy. It's a lifelong hobby that I am looking forward to continuing to pursue and I hope to meet a lot of friends along the way! Other than drawing, I love playing video games with my 2 younger sisters and friends. Fun fact: I also really enjoy going grocery shopping at as many grocery shops as I can find because I enjoy staring at the abundance in variety of foods. My favorite grocery store is probably Uwajimaya in Seattle because of its excellent fish section. AudreyPublicity and Design Chair Second Year Major: Civil Engineering Favorite Artists: John Brosio Favorite Mediums: Digital, graphite (pencil), acrylic Joined Outlet Spring 2021; got into doing art because it made me happy as a kid; other hobbies are making music and playing video games. SerenaStudio Head First Year Major: Public Health Favorite Artists: IG: @shooky_dough, @shiba_watercolor, @heikala Favorite Mediums: Charcoal, watercolor, pastel, oil Hi! I joined Outlet in Fall 2021 because art has always been my way of de-stressing and I wanted to continue dedicating time for art in college. I have always found it really awe-inspiring and fun to create a finished product from such simple materials (it’s also been a really handy skill for customizing those birthday/holiday cards). I love trying out different mediums so Outlet’s variety of workshops and open studio time is really unique and valuable to me. When I’m not drawing, I love trying out restaurants, playing card games, and solving puzzles! |
