Holiday Party and Printmaking Card Workshop – November 30

As a (very last minute) reminder, the annual Holiday party will be held on Wednesday, November 30th, from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. in the Art Studio. (Unexpired) snacks will be provided!

The Holiday Party will feature a fun (and free) printmaking workshop in which you’ll learn a couple of inexpensive printmaking techniques that are easy to do at home. You’ll be able to make a few cards and prints quickly during the party while you relax a little before finals week.

At the end of the party you will have the opportunity to participate in a fun and randomized art exchange. Bring a small work with you or use one of the prints you make during the workshop!

We will all miss your kind humor, fantastic animal drawings, and of course – your diligent “enforcing” of club rules and regulations. Congratulations Alex! We are so happy for you and wish you all the best. 🙂

Art Show Awards Reception Nov. 16

The Awards Reception for the Dunwoody Student Art show will be held this Wednesday, November 16, from 5 – 7 p.m. in the LRC (library) gallery area located near the elevators. Light refreshments will be provided. The awards will be announced at 6:30 p.m. by the Art Club president, Darrin Pope, and other contributing members of the club. Students in the exhibition are not required to attend though participation is strongly encouraged. Public voting on awards will take place between 5 and 6 p.m.

The guest juror, Tamika Barnes (Head of Library Services) has selected 10 students to receive a special prize and the Dunwoody Art Club has additionally selected 5 works to receive special recognition at the reception. Additionally, 3 public choice awards will also be announced based on voting by all who are in attendance between 5 – 6 p.m. that evening.

All works from the exhibition will be taken down on Friday morning starting at 9:30 a.m. – if you are unable to pick up your work by noon you will be able to contact the library staff during normal hours of operation to retrieve your work from storage. Students who are not able to attend may pick up any awards received on Friday morning between 10 a.m. and noon. Juror’s Awards may not be retrieved from library because you have to sign upon receipt of award – you must contact Ms. Levacy to arrange to pick up this award (if applicable you will be contacted).

Note: All works that are not picked up by the end of the day, Friday, December 16th, may be discarded.

Do you need feedback on your portfolio?

Are you preparing a portfolio for transfer to another art program or art school? Confused about what might be expected of you and your work? Get some free feedback from some of the nations largest art programs and art schools at the National Portfolio Day – Atlanta this Sunday!

National Portfolio Day – Atlanta will occur on September 25th, 2016, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Atlanta Marriott Perimeter Center (246 Perimeter Center Parkway NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30346).

Those participating in the NPD will be able to browse the options available at individual institutions (check out the list of schools that will be present!) as well as receive invaluable feedback on their work. You will not be expected to have a 100% complete portfolio and there is no general expectation as to the number of works you need (though you’re unlikely to have more than 15 works reviewed given their limited time frame). Bring the strongest of what you have and see what they say – record your session if they’ll permit it or take notes, or better yet, bring a friend to take notes for you so you can focus!

Register for this free opportunity in advance to expedite your check-in on Sunday by visiting the NPD website and clicking on the Atlanta tab.

While attending NPD is not an official club event, if you’re interested in going with other members from the Art Club, reach out using the clubs Group Me. If you haven’t joined the Art Club’s Group Me, it’s simple and free and starts with you clicking the following link! https://app.groupme.com/join_group/24419669/0K2JY0

And, if this feels a little too overwhelming, consider attending the RISD Portfolio Review on the Dunwoody campus on Sept 28 (4 pm in NA1150) with Antonio Peters. In a more comfortable and familiar setting, you can be assured of a more personal experience. If you’re not quite ready to share your work, consider coming just to hang out and listen to other students reviews – you’ll gain many valuable insights as to what you can do in your own portfolio even if your personal work isn’t being critiqued!

Drawings from the Meet & Greet, Sept 7

The Meet & Greet was a lot of fun last week. In addition to learning about some of what’s in store this semester, those in attendance participated in a friendly art competition in which groups of 2-3 people visually responded to a subject prompt (like “dog”, “statue of liberty”, “spaceship with alien”). The winning groups received yummy prizes!

Here are a few images created throughout the afternoon:

img_0407img_0406Don’t miss out on our first meeting next week, Wednesday, September 21st at 4 p.m. in the art studio, NA1150. We will hold officer voting, plan out or movie days for the semester, talk about the upcoming RISD visit (and hold sign-up for portfolio review), and we’ll come up with a plan for the fall student show!

See you there!
