Katrinna Whiting currently a senior at Maryland Institute College of Art
studying graphic design, swung by the studios to chat with Amy
Zhang and Jackie Lawlor about the artschool experience. After some
initial second thoughts about taking the art school route, Katrinna is
now incredibly happy. At first she missed the liberal
arts well- rounded approach to academics, but once she got into her
major fully, she said she realized
there are different and equally valid types of knowledge…. “I love
MICA-it’s known as the Harvard of the art school world. They value risk
taking and have totally prepared
me for the world beyond college. I have already been approached with
job offers. Right now I am working with the Baltimore mayor’s office on a
social design campaign that focuses on inner city development and
renewal”. Equally valuable to Katrinna has been
MICA’s relationship to Johns Hopkins University. She has been able to
take a class for free every semester and has taken advantage of that by
studying calculus and a class that explores and utilizes “ArcGIS” a
program that combines design, statistical data
and geographic information systems.
