Stephen Stephen Kiser B.A., M.A., San Jose State University; DIPL., Brooks Institute of Photography |
Mr. Kiser has been teaching at CCSF since 1996.
He states as follows: "I maintain a deep seated interest in the scholarship of each student and the academic community as a whole. I endeavor to create an excellent educational foundation first, while providing each student the visual and technical tools to explore their art. Then, I provoke and prod each and every student, so they may elevate their vision. I want them to see, think and build a visual portfolio around their learned or perceived environment, making sure they understand what their images say and how they may affect others. To look beyond the surface, not just seeing an object or person for what they are, but why they are.
I try to instill the ability to convey ideas, while maintaining a creative edge, and without losing or sacrificing the technical concepts, which will make that well conceived image standout. I attempt to implant the need, to never lose sight or, better yet, the willingness to make changes when evaluating their own work. Have them always questioning what they are trying to accomplish. I strive to be their guide and mentor, not just their instructor."
Mr. Kiser is Faculty Advisor to the Photography Club.
He is Director of Steve Kiser Studio and Workshops. Mr. Kiser is involved in the following professional and/or community activities: Consultant to the Fine Arts community and education on new technology and fine arts program development; Guest curator of local, national and traveling art exhibitions; Producer of visual images to a variety of clients, galleries and museums; he has instituted a workshop environment where professional artists can explore visual concepts and techniques facing them today; established ongoing workshops where professional artist can create a program or programs that directly involve students artists or professional artists nation wide, conceived an on-line computer information link for Indigenous Arts and artist in the South Pacific and created a mentor program for young art students.
