Stuff to do with Art Club in March

While March is extra magical because it happens to feature Spring Break (12th – 19th) it’s also a great time for Art Club. We will be hosting some low-key “drop in” events throughout the month in addition to our monthly meeting to foster some positive creative thinking that will – hopefully – inspire and invigorate your creative energy in preparation for the 2nd half of the semester.

MARCH EVENTS/DATES

  • Thurs. March 2 – Netflix “Abstract” streaming during Open Studio
  • Thurs. March 9 – March Art Club Meeting followed by break-out session to discuss “Time Management for the Art Student”
  • TUESDAY. March 21 – Netflix “Tales By Light” streaming during Open Studio
  • Thurs. March 23 – Open Studio closed (moved to Tuesday 3/21)

Thursday, March 2: Episodes from the Netflix series “Abstract” will be streamed during Open Studio from 12-2:45 p.m. while anyone in attendance works on projects. The series shares the practice and knowledge of contemporary artists in a series of episodes and is available on Netflix Instant Stream.

MARCH 9th – ART CLUB MEETING 1:00 – 1:30 p.m.: Because of Spring Break, the club will meet the week before to make decisions about the dates of April events and make plans for a big “final event” for the end of April. This meeting will be followed by a “round table” discussion about time management (see below).

Thursday, March 9: From 1:30 – 2:15, join an open discussion about time management as an art student. We will watch a few short videos which provide various insights or practices from artists and creative individuals and talk realistically about the expectations of upper level art students and the creative process in general. Like creativity itself, time-management is a skill that can be learned but what works for one may not work for all. Find some alternative options to inspire more productivity in your academic and artistic projects. A follow up page will be created with a recap of conversation points from the session and resources for those who are unable to attend.

OPEN STUDIO WILL BE MOVED TO TUESDAY, March 21, the week after Spring Break! Open Studio will not be held on Thursday, March 23rd. 

Tuesday, March 21: Episodes from the Netflix series “Tales By Light” will be streamed during Open Studio from 12-2:45 p.m. while anyone in attendance works on projects. The series profiles professional National Geographic photographers on their adventures to get “the perfect shot” in short 1/2 hour segments on Netflix Instant Stream. The locations and creative efforts of these experts are sure to inspire anyone in the arts, regardless of their discipline.

And, it’s back!!! Coming up in early April (2nd or 9th?): 6x6x2017!

Movie Days

Everyone looked at the available days and selected the following two for Art Club Movie Day! events. Bring your own snacks, popcorn and water will be provided.

  • Wednesday, October 26 – 4 – 5:30 p.m. in Art Studio (NA 1150)
  • Wednesday, November 9 – 4 – 5:30 p.m. in Art Studio (NA 1150

Movies have yet to be decided on and a future post will contain some options and you can put in your 2 cents by commenting on it. Most members seemed pretty excited about the idea of a Halloween themed movie on Oct 26 and the most promising suggestion seemed to be Nightmare Before Christmas which, of course, is VERY artfully done with excellent clay stop-motion animation.

Please comment on this post for any suggestions of what you would like to watch on these dates. Updates will be shared later on.

Fall Student Show

We discussed aspects of the student show and decided that we will allow those submitting work to bring up to 2 works, however, we will stipulate that only 1 work is guaranteed entry if space is limited and that if we cannot provide adequate safety of the work due to scale or presentation that we cannot ensure its inclusion.

We discussed eligibility of students and all agreed that if a current student is enrolled in at least 1 course on the Dunwoody Campus, they’ll be eligible to submit work and all majors are welcome (not just those in the arts). There was some concern over how to ensure that students created work while enrolled in GSU-PC (to prevent people from submitting work from high school or from decades ago) but it was decided that we should simply stipulate that this is an expectation and trust that people will comply.

Additionally, we talked about the closing reception and arrived at the conclusion that 5 – 7 p.m. on either Nov 16 or 17 works for most club members. These dates will be discussed further with the library to determine what will work best and updates will be made and released with the Call to Artists.

  • Oct 1: Call to Artists information released (website and FB)
  • Oct 19: Assistance with submission preparation at the club meeting.
  • Oct 17 – 21: Submissions accepted
  • Oct 21: Installation of Show (VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!)
  • Nov 16 or 17: Closing Reception & Awards Ceremony (Date & time confirmed soon)
  • Nov 18: Take-Down / Pick up of student work (VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!)

With regards to installation and take-down of student work – no previous experience is required! We need MORE people for installation than take-down and will be installing from 10 am – 5 pm with a break for lunch – you do not need to stay the whole day if you’re not available and even an hour of your time is beneficial! We will discuss this more at the Oct 19 meeting.
