Fun Facts
Besides my passion for graphics and animation, I also have a MIDI studio in the basement, and I play guitar, keyboards, Bass, and Drums. I have nearly 25 songs that I produced posted on YouTube under Stan Bissinger. I'm using Studio One as my DAW.
About Me
I taught 3D animation and Digital Graphics for nearly twenty-three years. I did photo editing using Photoshop for nine years with Lifetouch/Shutterfly.
Experience
I am a very curious person and define myself as a continuous student. I use both my background in philosophy and technology to navigate through the challenges that the world presents. I have a strong interest in science and physics, as well as AI. I have been experimenting with prompt editing using Stable Difusion and various music AI applications.
Approach
As a tutor, your job is to describe and explain things. My tactic is to use metaphors and analogies that are targeted toward the student's background understanding. Discover what it is that they like and understand and use that as a way to construct a bridge to the learning objective.
