Good Evening,I am happy to begin the Museum Experience course. During this mod my daughter and I will be going to Europe for 2 weeks and will be visiting some great museums. In the meantime, she and I will visit the local museums. We both are partial to Impressionists, Monet especially, but we are planning to expand our horizons during the next couple of months.This mod, I am also enrolled in the digital photography class and look forward to taking pictures on our adventures.

Welcome to Class!

To get things started, let me tell you a bit about myself.... I have been teaching full time at Albertus Magnus College for the past 29 years and am grateful for the opportunity to spend my life working with students who want to learn more about art. I've been married for the past 34 years, and have 2 wonderful sons, 26 and 29. My older son is married and has an almost 2 year old son. That's Kieran and me at the window in our house recently...  We were blessed to have another grandson born this past Monday!  For now, everyone is together at our house so we are doubly blessed.....

My main interest is photography and I earned an M.F.A. in still photography from Rochester Institute of Technology. At Albertus I teach not only Photography but a range of other courses which include Digital Photography both online and face to face, Foundation Design (2-D and 3-D), Graphic Design, Ceramics, Intro to Computer Art, 20th Century Art History and  The Museum Experience.

To learn more about me, take a look around at my web site,http://jnevins.com. You can find a statement of my teaching philosophy (very student centered), syllabi from my other classes, a resume (called a Curriculum Vita in academic circles), tutorials on digital photography issues, portfolios of my work and more.

I look forward to working with you!
