Hi folks! Today we had fun with the workshop and there were awesome treats (Thanks to Alex's wife!) and pizza (Thanks so much, Amanda!) Hopefully those who couldn't come today will be able to come next Saturday or have been able to work with their mentees at other times. I got a few pictures (though they aren't great) so there is some documentation. Please make sure to get an artist statement from your mentees and get those permission slips signed! Thanks to those who have sent and posted their artist statements so far. This week I hope to start putting them on the the official event blog. I was thinking that maybe with the artist statements I should post links to websites or blogs of those that have them and would like the extra bit of promotion that could give. If you want that please let me know what link I should put!
I have managed to put a few posters up at grocery stores in Orem and AF though I haven't had a chance to get all the ones I took put up yet. I hope those who took posters are getting an opportunity to put them up and spread the adverting campaign out!
My mentee and I are having fun working on a short comic book! We are designing characters and then will put together a comic a few pages long. I am very impressed with her work and passion for art! She is already planning to go on to college and do art there so I am really thrilled to work with her!
Hope to see you all on Tuesday and I hope you all have had a good and productive weekend!
