Important: Title plates!

Hi! We need to do title plates that will go next to the pieces! For these, you all need to send this info to JD for each piece you have for the show:

Title of piece
Your name and/or your mentee's name (for them, first name and last initial)
Medium of piece
Dimensions of piece

Send these to JD ASAP! jdhawkins801@gmail.com (oops! had his e-mail wrong! fixed now!)

Also send him your artist statements please!

ALSO! For this Thursday, we are not meeting in our classroom but at Provo Town Square for class. Bring your framed piece(s), ready to hang.

I think that's it for now. I will try to work on the official blog and get the rest of the mentor profiles up tomorrow.

a few things...

Hi guys! I have been working on the official event blog today adding more information and the first few mentor profiles. I have more profiles to add soon and the list of links you guys gave me for your sites are at home so I will edit the posts that need to have them added later but I just wanted to make sure you guys approve of how I am doing this so far.

Tomorrow my mentee is going to meet up with me to work on a few more things during our class time but I hope to be around as much as I can.

I have been seeing posters all around the school and that is very exciting!

If I still do not have your artist statement and/or bio get them to me ASAP! Also please give me your mentee's statements if you have not yet.

I hope things are going well for you all and I will see you tomorrow!

Workshop photos

Hey folks! The turnout for today's workshop was even worse than last weekend so I hope you all are working with your mentees at other times. In just a week from now we will be doing our show! I still need to get mentees' artist statements from most of you as well as your bios for the brochure.

I have been trying to take photos of the workshops and here are some of them. Click the small ones to see them bigger! Some of them are photos of mentors and mentees working and others are of projects being worked on. I plan to post some of them on the official blog. I will start posting artist statements there very soon too.


The bios so far

Ok folks, here are the bios I have so far. if I misread anything or you think some things should be changed let me know. there are a few things that I changed just a bit in some of them and I hope you are ok with that. Let me know if I misspelled any names or mistranslated what you wrote. If you have not yet posted your bio, please do! Hope to see many of you in a couple of hours!
