Veronica Seider

Veronica Seider takes pleasure in doing art in multiple forms. Through Western art classes, Seider has found her love for art both digitally and through clay. Seider is drawn to digital imaging because of how creative it allows you to be. She says that “as long as you find a video that’ll tell you what to do, it’s super easy to be able to make super cool things.” Seider does her art through Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and with the help of her teacher, Ms. Burnette. 

This year, Seider has been doing heat mapping. One Google search says that heat mapping “is a data visualization technique that shows magnitude of a phenomenon as color in two dimensions.” However, Seider explains that “It’s when you take an image and you over exposure it and put a gradient map over it. It will have each of the different shades be different colors. So for example a black and white image, if it’s layered it’ll show the layers as different colors.”

Seider enjoys expressing herself through digital imaging and ceramics. Mrs. Chatterson spoke very highly of Seider’s work, noting her most recent project, shoe house. “I think for ceramics I’m in my house era, I love making houses” Seider says.

Seider’s art process for ceramics is to simply “look up inspirations and recreate them. Then make alterations to it.” Although Seider doesn’t consider herself to have an art style,

She is a driven artist who is heading to VCU for a minor in art where she will continue to create artwork both digitally and on the wheel.
