Hello!


Hi Everyone!

To get things started, let me tell you a bit about myself.... I have been teaching full time at Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, CT (www.albertus.edu) 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 33 years to my high school sweetheart and have 2 wonderful sons, 25 and 29. My older son is married and has a 1 year old son.He was hired recently by Disney as a Graphic Designer in their Book Division.

Here I am sailing out of the Great Salt Pond in Block Island... I have been a sailor for years and you can find my wife out on the water every weekend of the summer.

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, and a new course I developed, The Museum Experience.

To learn more about me, take a look at my web site, http://jnevins.com. You can find a statement of my teaching philosophy (very student centered), syllabi form 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!

-Jerry
