About Me
My name is Isabella Ballesteros and I am an undergraduate at San Jose State University for Digital Media Art. I am from Roseville, California and I currently live on campus at SJSU. I consider myself a proficient traditional and digital artist. I have two years of graphic design and Adobe Suite experience in West Park high school. I passed AP Studio Art my senior year and achieved a score of 5 on my portfolio. I even had prior experience to basic video game and HTML coding in Chilton middle school. I love to do commission work and personal projects outside of school. I believe I am an opportunist that seeks ways to improve my creativity and art skills, whether it is traditional or digital. My favorite project in Art 74 was actually the Creative Coding Robot. It was very difficult to complete because I had little prior knowledge in Javascript coding from scratch, but I learned fairly quickly and made a piece that I am proud of. My favorite artwork in Art 75 was my Final video project, Flavors of Home . I loved the creative freedom to make my own short film with the knowledge I have gained from the class.
