Hi, my name is Angela Spreter, and I am the Computer Graphics teacher here at the Communications Academy. I hope that you are enjoying our website. New pages are added to our site periodically which display the great work that our students are producing, as well as provide information about what's going on at the Academy.

I have worked at BOCES since the fall of 1997, and have enjoyed every minute of it. I hold a BFA in Graphic Design from SUNY Oswego, and a Master's in Art Education from the College of New Rochelle. Before becoming a teacher, I worked as a graphic designer and art director in the field of magazine publishing.

My prior work experience enables me to provide a lessons which are true to real work situations. Programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and QuarkXPress are learned in my class, in addition to the production of web pages and introduction to various 3D programs. Students also learn about typography, color theory, drawing, layout, and design. I am very proud of the work that they create, and hope that you will take a look at some of it on the projects page.
