October 27, 2010 Meeting: Back to Basics

Announcements

- We need to be better about bringing food to each meeting. Please contribute so your fellow artists don't starve!
- SXU Art Club now has an unofficial email address (sxuartclub@gmail.com) and a blog (this one!).
- There may opportunities to have our art hung around campus! Anything submitted must be finished -- that means framed and ready to be hung on a nail. So keep making art, folks!
- We are each to make a second piece for our Monochromatic show. We selected new colors this week.

Agenda

This meeting mainly focused on critiquing our first pieces for the Monochromatic show.

This week, Art Club went "back to basics" with crayons!









You can see "Back to Basics" hanging in the student lounge downstairs at the Visual Arts Center.





Next meeting: Wednesday November 3rd

Bring black and white printed materials (ex: old handouts from classes)
Think of some things to discuss at the next meeting! See you there!

October 13, 2010 Meeting: The Factory

This week's activity was "The Factory." 




 We each had a large sheet of paper. We each chose an oil pastel.

We made our own unique but identical mark on each sheet of paper.






We did a few rounds to fill up the page.











Then we made them our own.












Next meeting: Wednesday October 27, 2010
