Hi guys, I'm Payton, and I'm a tour Ambassador here at KCAI and a junior, sculpture department. I'm here on the campus screen, and I'm going to show you guys a little bit about our east building, which houses our photography department, our filmmaking department, and our printmaking department. Come follow me.

I'm going to first show you guys a little bit about our printmaking studio. Our print makers are utilizing their own drawing techniques in order to use printing techniques to make a final image. A lot of those printmaking techniques vary from lithographs, etching, and even wooden block friends. Let's go see the print room right now. This is our print shop. I'm in printmaking. And behind me, we have our etching area where you can see some of our presses available for students and also prep area murals that way everyone can utilize the facilities. This is our the lithography section of the current room, where we have multiple sizes of presses available for our students. And we also have different traditional methods of [INAUDIBLE].

This is our letterpress station, where our students have access to two different letter presses and have access to fight fires. And this is some more of our printmaking studio spaces, where students are able to draw in different scales, whether large or even small.

The print printmaking dark room, where students are able to use silk screening, and using photosensitive materials in order to create their own friends. And this brings us to our photography dark room, two distinct areas for two distinct majors. Our photography department utilizes this space as a building block for their curriculum. Students are able to utilize different exposing units in order to develop film, and they're also able to utilize these developing sinks in order to create their prints.

Center shop has tons of equipment including table saws, miter saws, drill presses, lathes, joiners, planers, an entire dedicated sanding area with correct ventilation systems in place so that we all of our students are staying safe. Available for all students across departments, center shop has dedicated faculty members and trained staff so everyone is able to have on hands professional help at all times. And upstairs is the rest of our photography and our filmmaking department. Let's go check it out.

This is the East gallery space, which photography and filmmaking students utilize for installations and showcasing their work for critiques. The Media Center is located on our second floor in our east building. Students will have access to camera equipment, lighting, equipment and sound equipment. They can also utilize the photo booth and green screen studio space. In here we have our photography post production room for students can utilize large scale printers, flat files, and cutting mats.

And then here we have our filmmaking post production room for students can utilize a shared working space. The faculty in filmmaking create an individualized curriculum for each student based off of their own conceptual interests. Our filmmaking students learn every aspect of the filmmaking process from filming, editing, to life and sound. This really prepares all of our students for the industry. And this is the filmmaking Sound Studio, which is utilized by multiple departments.

Thank you guys for joining me today in visiting our east building. I hope that that gave you some insight on what our studios look like and what resources students have. I'll see you guys soon.
