Enjoy a few samples of work from my first group of online students from The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). They grew tremendously over the 10-week course, and I couldn't be prouder of them! I'm teaching again this winter and can't wait to see the lightbulbs glow as the course progresses.

Work Featured on SCAD Portfolios

Teaching Adjunct at SCAD
They call me Professor Ludlam, though I tell them they can call me Renée. :) In March, I taught my first undergraduate course at The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), GRDS 285, Graphic Design Media Management. It is an early level graphic design course, so many of the students were from other majors. The diverse and fantastic group of 20 students grew tremendously over the 10-week course, and I couldn't be prouder of them. They taught me much along the way, and I am excited to teach again in the fall.
A few examples of student work:

BREAKING THROUGH THE BLEAK WORKSHOP
THIS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13TH 2-4PM

At some point, all creatives have faced a block. Moving past it can be a daunting task. I know, because I've been there. Join me for a workshop on process where you can learn about how I work, share your techniques, learn new methods, and get creating! I look forward to seeing you there. :) Bring a sketchbook, something to write with, and a camera/ camera phone.

AIGA Jacksonville 25th Annual Portfolio Review
My husband and I had the chance to head down to Jacksonville, where I joined AIGA as a volunteer reviewer for college student portfolios at UNF. The amazing Jessica Hische gave a presentation about her work the night before, and we were able to hit up OneSpark.
