Adam Taber Introduction

Hey everyone, Happy New Year! My name is Adam Taber and I’m a freshman from Yonkers, New York. I’m majoring in IDEAS [Integrated Degree in Engineering and Arts and Sciences B.S] interested in Architecture, Art, Design, Civil Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. I live in Dravo and I’ll be on-campus this spring semester.

2D Design caught my eye for many reasons, but to name a few, I feel as if I am too heavily sided on digital art/building versus traditional art. Photoshop and AutoCAD have been two very leading tools recently mostly because everything is remote. I don’t have anything against being “too digital”, but I want to explore more art forms!

In my past academic history, I’ve taken art classes through all of high school. In my junior and senior year, I took IB Art SL [essentially AP]. My style has changed throughout the years, but I realized that digital art and digital building have been 2 two passions of mine. I’m quite familiar with the tools in photoshop as well as some applications in AutoCAD. Looking forward to seeing you all in class!

About my work: Most of my work consists of realism and stylistic choices such as in “Family Portrait” where I decided to only contour and limit my color palette to simplify its form. In my portrait/figure drawings in cases like “Olivia Brucker”, “Robert Santiago”, and “Colin Vintage”, I played around with my color pallet and tools in photoshop to help compliment the composition of each piece. I love pops of color and anything that glows, in my piece “Class of 2020”, I played around in Photoshop using soft airbrush tools to get a glowing effect.

Alongside Photoshop, Digital building has crept its way into my art portfolio, which has spurred my passions for interior design and architecture. “Parlor Room” was built on a platform called Roblox which has platforms where you can build things freelanced, and with the power of research and references, I was able to create an accurate parlor room. The beauty of the digital building is that I am able to compose anything that comes to mind, which is why I do it so much because sometimes it’s hard to follow the rules. My final project that I’ve been working on for years, and still am, is my Virtual Theme Park. I had no plan of the layout of the park, neither the roller coasters nor flat rides, but I just built off of an idea and just ran with it. Overall, I take a lot of time building and art-making which translates pretty well I hope. I’m excited to see my progression throughout my years in college and am eager to learn more about art itself!
