Installation

^from the zine. I just checked, and open house days are November 7 and 8. In about, 3 weeks. That actually gives us plenty of time. Maybe there will be another meeting in school this week, so we can schedule one after school sometime. Then there will probably be meetings at my house maybe afterschool or on a weekend.

The idea was to use the space by the ramp, or anywhere around that area. I was thinking about doing one that we all work on incorporating the five art areas, but we could also split up the five areas, work on it separately, then put it all together. Either way will probably work. Just think of ideas. Here's mine:

Visual arts:
-something similar to the cardboard box idea, if anyone knows what I'm talking about
-painting, sculpture, ect.
(the whole thing's visual, so this should be the easiest part)

Music:
-have music playing, someone could burn a cd, or we could do records.
-I had people suggest live music, which would be cool, but whoever wants to do it would have to be willing to commit some time

Dance:
-video tape a performance and have it playing on a tv
-incorporate dance themes/objects and such into a sculpture or somthing

Theater:
-the video thing could work here too
(this needs some suggestions, but then again, if it turn's out to be the weakest area represented, it should be ok, since we do after all have drama club)

Creative Writing:
-could work with visual art
(something like what's hanging up in cw)

The other blogs in my profile are both from installation art projects, so check them out if you want a visual example of what an installation can look like.

2nd Issue!

Last night I finished the 2nd issue which turned out to be only 4 sheets of paper, but that's not a bad thing. It was sort of a last minute, thrown together sort of issue, with most of the submissions being done in creative writing yesterday. I made a few more copies of the 1st issue and had 50 copies of the 2nd made.

At the football game I was selling them together for $1.25 or just a dollar for the 2nd issue. But made 8 bucks :D So the total amount we made so far now is $30.30 (I don't know where the 30 cents came from)

And it's up for approval if Daddy Kuhn can be sponsor! He told me Mr. Martin said there shouldn't be a problem about that, but it will just take a little longer before we actually have an offical club! I think we could keep the zine going like this so that it doesn't need approved by the school, but still have the funds go toward the club.

We could probably do another issue before Thanksgiving break, but speaking of breaks, I'm gonna take one for at least a week. x_X

Meeting

There's supposed to be an Arts Club meeting Act A in Mr. Rafail's room tomorrow to figure out what to do for the installation or whatever we want to do for Open House. I just basically wanted to see who all was interested, then I'd have a meeting at my house or afterschool to work on it. BUT I'm stupid and forgot that PSATs are tomorrow and even if they're done before activity period, I'm leaving for the invitiational. I'm hoping that there might be some time for the meeting though. Especially since we were going to try to put a zine together for senior night on Friday. Even if I'm not there, I trust that some of you guys will still do some zine stuff to give to me Thursday (honestly, if you have a good idea that will take some time, save it for another issue and just get something random to me quick for this one) and we can always have another Arts Club meeting before Open House.

questionable?

because a cartoon commodore stabbing the arts with a palette knife is supposedly offensive.

pioneer days=zine selling extravaganza

I sold about 4 zines before I had to go work a booth, but thanks to Emily, Kelsey, and Sarah all but 1 of the 20 copies I brought were sold!!! (and the only reason why that 1 wasn't sold was because I couldn't find my original copy and thought I might have left it at school, when I really only left it in the scanner at home o_O)

but overall, we've made $13.65
and sold 23 copies total
which means, some people made donations of $1 when we were originally selling for 50 cents.
which also means we're now selling for $1.

I have 12 more copies that I'll take tomorrow to pioneer days
and there are still 6 in my locker.

ABOUT ARTS CLUB

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had Adam Margovic ask if the sponsor had to be someone from the school because he'd be interested in helping out
AND Mr. Kuhn also asked the same thing because he said he'd sponsor, but he's a sub so technically from the school YAYYYY

What does anyone think about having an art display out for open house which I think is around the first week of November?
I was thinking that instead of just hanging work on the wall, we could work together on an installation in like the middle of the hall or somewhere where people can't miss it and will make them stop and think. The great thing about installations is that they can incorporate writing, music, basically all areas of the arts because they're interactive and visual. I think we need a meeting. What you say?

(excited)

DURR

we'll sell them at pioneer days!!!

(any volunteers?)

yay?

1st issue finally published!!!

It has to be sold outside school, however.

Chelsea suggested selling at football games, but there's only one more home game and that's in 2 weeks. Does anyone think we could do another issue by then? It's possible. By then, hopefully the 1st issue will have got around and we could always sell both.

So if you contributed, see me and I'll give you a copy. Then tell people to find me... after school.
