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 9March 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!

February Meeting – TUESDAY 2/21 @ 2 pm

The February meeting of the Art Club will take place in a different time than usual. We will meet in the art classroom on Tuesday, February 21, at from 2 – 2:45 pm. We will discuss the calendar of events and choice of movies in this first “real” meeting of the semester.

The time and day of this meeting was determined via Remind group chat this weekend due to the time conflict on Thursday (2/23) with the Sarah Larson Lecture Series event “Life After Prison” from 1-2:15 pm (which all are invited to attend. No Open Studio will be held on Thursday, February 23rd.
