This week we are privileged to sit down and chat with Travis Braun
(Pronounced Brown) He was Julias Jr. High School art teacher and the creator of the ‘Braun Method of Art’. What is the Braun Method of Art you ask? It’s taking an abstract background and placing it behind a portrait. Both are created by Travis (the background and the portrait) and then married together in a digital format.
Travis grew up in a small-town west of the Twin Cities MN. He spent much of his childhood drawing, doodling, and discovering his love of art. Music has always been important to Travis and in high school he plaid guitar in a rock band Star Lava.
After a year of schooling in MN. Travis moved to Utah (in his mid-20’s) to study art at BYU. This was where Travis was able to hone his skills in art. Even though he was not sure how he would be able to support himself and a family with an art degree Travis figured he would spend four years studying something he loved.
After graduation from Collage teaching art was something that just sort of found him! Travis went back and got his teaching certificate and then spent 7 long years teaching jr. high school. After spending his time in the trenches, he was able to take a position as a high school art teacher and that is where he is today. We really enjoyed talking to Travis and I want to highlight a bit more of his art.
