Ammons Middle
Robert Morgan
Educational Center
Ringling College of
Art and Design
I learned a lot of great stuff in
school, here’s what made a
difference:
Seeing myself grow not just as an
artist, but as a person to
o. Attending Ringling College
allowed me to sharpen my skills
and explore what art means to
me. It also allowed me to see the
different avenues I can take being
an illustration major.

What inspired me to pursue
art?
CARTOONS.

Favorite mediums to use:
● Watercolor
● Posca Markers
● Ink
● Conte Crayons
● Gouache
● Digital mediums
- Procreate
-Adobe Illustrator

Things I wish I knew before attending
Ringling
● It’s ok if you don’t have an art
style. Your style will change.
Yes, some artists have a distinct
style that makes people recognize
that it’s their work. But you will
continue to develop and grow. So
your art will change and that’s ok.
● Criticism is okay, as long as it’s
constructive.
It’s helpful to be open. You may
be stuck on something and you
don’t know how to resolve the
statement you’re trying to
make. With constructive
criticism from peers or your
professor, you can see from a
different view on how to
improve your work.
● Also, do not be hard on yourself!
Everyone is on different levels and
had to work for many years to get
where they are. The only person
you should compare yourself to is
yourself.
