<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over 50 art students gathered to Victore\u2019s morning lecture. Victore spoke from his life experience as a designer of posters and book covers for clients around the world. Even though he was unable to graduate from college, Victore learned life lessons about design through mentors and by being in the workforce. He emphasized that in creative projects you should make your work reflective of yourself and what you believe in.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour opinion has value and people want to hear it,\u201d Victore said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He encouraged students to do hard work, trust their gut, and to believe in themselves. He also noted that self-care and self-love are important as you navigate the creative industry.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKnow who you are, what you want, and where you are going in life and you can do anything,\u201d Victore said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the workshop, Victore encouraged students to practice out of the box thinking by drawing simple representations of abstract concepts.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe importance of having a supportive environment for students in the Art and Design Department at Fort Hays was reinforced,\u201d Simpson-Voth said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In graphic design classes and in other art disciplines, instructors value students\u2019 work and critique it to help them improve.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe know that our department gives students meaningful critiques. The importance of our professors really caring about students as individuals was reinforced,\u201d Simpson-Voth said in light of Victore\u2019s workshop.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After James Victore\u2019s visit, art and design students learned an important lesson about hard work, professionalism, respect for others, and that speaking truth in your work and life will lead you to success as a designer.
