other three dimensional projects by University of Cincinnati faculty,
students, and guest artists. Fine Art Media Fundamentals, Modelling
for 3- Dimensional Networking, and Computer Sculpture are courses,
which have been taught using D.A.A.P as a venue for the presentation

and industrially developed and produced materials, as the subjects
of sculpture. This has motivated him to use the computer to design
his sculpture. Before retiring from The University of Cincinnati

methods as part of his professional practice. |
