Activities:AlbrightAthleticTraining,Softball–“Frommyinvolvementinsoftball, I learned how to be morevocalandcommunicate.”
hIllAry oN her ADvISer – rIChArD hAMWI, Ph.D.:“He’sreallyhelpedmetokeepontrackwithchoosingtherightcoursesaswellastakingthecoursesthatarenecessarytofulfillallofmyrequirementsaccordingtomyconcentration.”
The Center for the Arts—with its unique interdisciplinary environment ofclassrooms, studios, galleries and performing spaces—provides a nexus forartistsandtheiraudiencesthatsupportsawidevarietyofartisticandscholarlyactivitiesinwhichAlbrightstudentsengage.
When Hillary came to Albright, she already knew she wanted to teach.
The question remained: what subject?
It was in her sophomore year that the busy softball player decided upon
art. “I loved the art building (the Center for the Arts) from my first visit
to Albright. You can be so creative there and work at all hours,” says
Hillary. Experienced at drawing, sketching and especially still life, Hillary
thought she knew exactly what she wanted to study. But that was before
she took her first class in sculpture with Tom Watcke.
“I went into that class thinking I already knew a lot about art,”
says Hillary. “At first, it was frustrating, but he pushed me as an
artist and student. As an educator, I plan to set those same high
standards for my future students.”
Another class that changed Hillary’s expectations of herself
as an artist? Life Drawing. “It wasn’t just hard rules. We had to
engage with live models,” explains Hillary. The class, offered
by her adviser, Richard Hamwi, introduced Hillary to many
techniques for drawing human figures and to work with
difficult tools, such as the charcoal pencil.
Most of all, under Hamwi’s guidance, Hillary gained
confidence in her own sense of artistic style. “I created
my own technique and a personal edge, rather than doing
things the way I thought they should be done.”

there is tutoring going on, students doing work and friends
chatting. The second floor is quieter than the first. It’s
a great place to be able to focus, but you’re not in total
isolation. The third floor is completely silent. This is where
you can find me during finals.”–Alee,EducationMajor
