Bios! and other Important stuff!

Hi folks! if you weren't here today please type up a very short (like 2 sentences max) bio for the brochure. Something like: "Larissa Norman is an illustration student at UVU. Her BFA show, called In Transit, will be taking place in Fall 2011." Please get these to me ASAP! Thanks guys!

also, our second workshop is on Saturday at 1:00! Please come if you can. Either way make sure you are working with your mentees because we are almost out of time!

If you haven't sent me your artist statement yet, please do! I am going to start posting them on the official blog in the next few days.

If you haven't sent me your mentee's statement yet, please do that too!

Please make sure you are working on your artist packages!

News about mentoring

Alex posted this to the facebook so I am reposting it here:


and i spoke with jo porter, the art teacher at summit high.

she is very interested in having us come to mentor her students, in fact,
she says they are bugging her about when we are coming. which makes me all
the more ticked that we are not getting what we need from the boys and
girls club. she says that she has been trying to get in touch with them as well...

so, she is putting on her thinking cap and hoping that we come up with a solution. the kids who were mentees last time even got high school credit
for participation in the program. she is also looking for help in teaching
stuff to her kids--like mentoring a small class there (7) with some
expertise that any one or two of us may have. that is above and beyond what
we were expecting. she is very excited and is going to be talking to teri
to see if there is a solution. there's gotta be one.

she kept saying, "wow! so your students are excited and my students are excited--this is stupid!"

my sentiments exactly. i will be in touch with her again on monday and see
if she's had any luck...

ciao!
