Local 14


If you have nothing else better to do this weekend why not come to Local 14? I dropped off my work today and I'm excited to be a part of this show. Amazing work from 89 women, everything from dolls to hand died stockings.

October 1 - 4th World Forestry Center - Miller Hall

I'm working all day on Sunday if you want to come visit or just stop by when you can.

Jesse Reno - Thinking Backwards




This week we will continue to work on our Jesse Reno paintings. We'll post them on the website so Jesse can see your progress and end product. Maybe we should make some cool big thank you note for Jesse? Anyone want to earn some service hours and create the card?

What did you think of the workshop with Jesse? Feedback is always nice.

Fieldtrip Fun














What a great trip. I get so inspired by seeing art and meeting artists! I hope it was an inspiring trip for you and you got some good ideas on putting together a body of work. On the yellow itinerary, there are two assignments that were to be completed while we were on our trip, however, if you were just WAY too excited about the work at the time, be sure to do it at home in your sketchbook.

  • Please be sure to do the write-up for each gallery as well as the reflection on the trip itself.

  • Finish taking your A-Z pictures. You might want to label them in your sketchbook so you can remember the concept you were trying to capture. These will be due next Friday, October 2nd.

Jesse Reno


Jesse Reno workshop this weekend. You received a handout with directions and the day you are going to attend the workshop. Don't forget!!!!

If you have not paid your $50.00 you need to do that now. Please, pretty please. All the money goes to the artist. Jesse just sent out an email to his listserve which I am on, he is hosting a workshop for people two weekends from now, they are paying $650.00 EACH!!!! We got an amazing deal.

On the handout you received it listed the substrates (things you paint on) you will need for the Jesse Reno workshop as well as the materials you will need.

I would like you to bring all those things to class on Friday. If you do not have all the materials you need and the substrates and the $50.00 in by Friday you will not be going to the workshop. I know this sounds mean and intense but I was embarrassed that people were not prepared for the first artist in residence. Jesse is serious business and I worked very hard, for years actually, to get this opportunity. I need you to be prepared on Friday.

Get your blue handout, read it and get the stuff you need. Just put it in a big plastic bag with your name on it. I will bring the supplies to the workshop for you.

Brady Bunch Picture - Wednesday after school


Wednesday, September 23rd we will be taking the pictures for the AP poster. For those of you in sports this shouldn't take long and we can take pictures of you first. We will group (five people per square) ourselves on Monday. The girls will be with the girls, the boys with the boys. If you would like to bring something 70's to wear that would be great but not necessary. The picture will basically only be from your shoulders up. It would look groovy if you could find some retro clothes!

We could even take some of the pictures during class on Wednesday if you like. We'll talk about this on Monday. Just wanted to get it on your radar.

Here is what our poster will look like!

Poster Ads


You've got 10 days left to sell your poster ads!!!! Don't wait until the last moment. You will be very surprised how supportive this community is. The worst thing that can happen is they will say no. Then you just move onto the next place.

You can do this!!! All the money raised is used for NAHS scholarships and events throughout the year. Karen and Lindsay are very excited about planning lots of fun events for us to participate in.

Deadline is the beginning of class on the 30th of September.

$$$$$$$ and Forms


There are many things to remember for class on Tuesday. Fees, forms and making your blog. If you forget your $$ and fancy paper you will not be able to make a sketchbook and that would be sad.

There are so many things to remember your eyes might pop out of your head.
