5 CE INSTRUCTOR: Lindsay Nohl, 03 CE STUDENT: Haley Crain BE BOLD IN ALL OF YOUR ENDEAVORS, WORK HARD AT CRAFTING THE REALITY YOU WANT, AND NEVER BE AFRAID TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP! CLASSES AT MCAD HAVE BEEN A REALLY REWARDING WAY TO REENERGIZE CREATIVELY, FIND NEW INSPIRATION, AND KEEP LEARNING NEW SKILLS. What do you find rewarding about teaching adult Continuing Education students? Continuing Education students are always a blast to work with because they re always so excited, motivated, and willing to try new things. Often people come with a thirst to expand their horizons and are open to seeing what kinds of new opportunities are out there. Teaching for the program gives me a chance to be in a room with like-minded people where we can all obsess over the things we love together as a group. It s always a great atmosphere for collaborative conversation! What is your favorite moment or experience while teaching? My favorite part about teaching is watching people realize their own potential after trying a new technique or after a talk about expanding one s creative business. Often I ll discuss new strategies during our studio time while people are working and you can see the aha! moment with students as they realize that there are a ton of opportunities out there to be seen and to grow their practice. What is the biggest fear people have when they enter the classroom for the first time? I think we all have a bit of stage fright when it comes to performing in front of others. Students realize very quickly that our creative practice is just that: practice! As the semester goes on it becomes so much easier to try things without worrying if they re perfect on the first try. If you could condense your experience and knowledge into one tip, what would it be? Be bold in all of your endeavors, work hard at crafting the reality you want, and never be afraid to take the next step! What is your day job? I am an in-house graphic designer at the Aveda corporate headquarters in Blaine. I work on our marketing collateral for launches, and I also work on packaging. What is the most rewarding aspect of taking classes at MCAD? It s wonderful to have a dedicated time and reason to work on creative projects outside of my job. After you re done with school, you put so much energy into your job that your individual creative interests can start to slide if you don t make time for them. Classes at MCAD have been a really rewarding way to re-energize creatively, find new inspiration, and keep learning new skills. What would you tell a friend about your experiences in your MCAD classes? I ve learned a lot beyond what I expected to get out of the classes. Lindsay really makes the most of class time she packs in a ton of information in a way that s easy to follow, and we always have good studio time too. It s not just lecture time or just silent studio time it feels like I m getting the most out of it every time I go. What is your favorite technique or medium? My favorite medium to work with is just black pen, or ink with different brushes. Sometimes watercolor or gouache. I do a lot of cartoons and hand lettering, so I like to find the simplest way to represent an idea or a joke. Where do you go, what do you look at for inspiration? I like both reading and writing. I keep up with lots of blogs, Twitter, Pinterest. I have really enjoyed the Walker and MIA since moving to Minneapolis too.
