Scholarship time is upon us!
3D students need to get your portfolios together, full instructions are on the scholarship application forms, WHICH ARE AVAILABLE NOW IN THE ART OFFICE right now!
For 3D work you need a color, printed image of your piece(s), 10 pieces total. Images should be no smaller than 5x7 you can have one main image and one detail. Put both photos on the same page. You can enter 'sets' of work, say you have 4 cups or 4 figures that go as a group, but they must be photographed together. Use the detail image to show a close up of one of the works in the group. Make sure to label the works, medium, size, date, title- refer to the instructions on the application.
MAKE IT PROFESSIONAL!
Read the application and it's instructions carefully, the process is different this year!
DO IT NOW!
Good luck!

Some Places to Find Shows
There are a ton of art exhibition and competition listings out there on the Internet, all you have to do is search for them, Check out ARTshow.com.
Here is a link to an interesting exhibition, FIRED A View of Ceramics
at Manifest Gallery
This show is open to all including students and they will publish a catalog (bonus!). Deadlines are approaching fast!
Some sites like The Art List, have free listings and some pay-for-membership levels as well.
Also check out- The Art Guide, ArtPerk, Art and Artdeadlines. My favorite is ArtDeadlines.com, but you have to pay for the good stuff and I think it's worth it.

Another Semester!
Welcome 2011! It's going to be a good year I can feel it. Last semester provided some good challenges for many of us and hopefully these new lessons will be put into practice for the new year. It's important to note that these challenges never stop happening and what is so important for an artist to learn is how to COPE! They never go away and managing time and resources is so very important. I am a perfect example for that; I have a fabrication job I am working on right now, and will go right into a commission piece at the same time as I am working on all new work for a show at the end of April. Never mind that I still must teach and run the studios and I have a whole busy life outside of all of this. Several of these projects kind of came up last minute but since I try and be relatively organized I was able to jump on them and provide drawings, plans and models of things literally with a two or three day notice. Get a calendar, or planner book or whatever you need, but build a schedule and stick with it!
Classes start on January 18th. The studios will not be open officially until this day, so please plan accordingly. Materials and tools can be moved in on or after the 18. Keypad and lock combinations will be given out a few days later when enrollments are settled.
Please make sure you look at your bank account and remember that you don't get your refunds for a week or so. You will NOT be excused from doing projects and purchasing materials because of refund issues.
Also remember if you are trying to get into a class that is closed try and get there the first day of class, no professor will let you into a studio class a week after it stared, that's just crazy and it's disrespectful to the faculty member who usually works pretty hard a preparing the first weeks lessons.
SLOSS is also coming up, April 13-16 (longer for people doing a cupola or taking certain workshops) please make sure you let professors and your employer know NOW that you will be gone. Make sure you save up absences for that week so you don't get docked for being away! SLOSS is amazing and as many of you as possible should try and attend.
Well that's all for now, see everyone in a week or so! Cheers!
