Since COVID-19 began, Grand Valley State University’s Visual Media Arts Department has had to make significant alterations to most of their courses.
Professors have had to stretch themselves to be innovative and creative in order to accommodate virtual learning, as classes of the arts are typically made for a more hands-on experience. With almost two full semesters of adjusting to this new way of teaching, professors are finally finding their niche.
Associate Professor of Drawing Tim Fisher said that while adjusting his classes from being entirely in-person to fully online has been successful, it has also been labor-intensive.
Fisher said that the people who trained him for virtual teaching this past summer have been huge contributors to his success. He has found that in his drawing classes, going more low-tech has actually proved to work well for him and his students.
