As a visual artist, I thought it was really interesting to read about some of the most important people in today's local art community. I thought it was really awesome that the galleries would have an exibit or two of well selling artists, but that there also seemed to be an emphasis on emerging and new artists.
Although I have yet to check out the "first Thurdays" gallery walk, I think it's an great idea, it makes the galleries seem a lot more accesable to the public, because it can definately be daunting to walk into a gallery and be the only one there and get that "I know you don't have enough money to buy a tenth of one of these pieces so what are you doing here." look from the assistant.

CSumption said...: Definitely check out First Thursdays, which are lively and celebratory. The whole community comes out, so there's a wonderful mix of artists of all kinds, patrons at all levels, and people who are just interested. I hope, though, that you'll find a way to be comfortable in the galleries, to get over the feeling of not belonging because you can't afford to buy anything. As artists, we all need the inspiration, stimulation, and challenge that come from seeing the work of others on a regular basis, and the galleries recognize and embrace that. They're more than "art stores."; September 24, 2007 at 12:34 PM

SAE RULES

"We're breaking all of the rules. Even our own rules. And how do we do that? By leaving plenty of room for X quantities."
~ John Cage

Rule 1: Find a place you trust and then try trusting it for awhile.

Rule 2: Be curious. Ask questions. Read everything you can get your hands on.

Rule 3: Pull everything out of your teacher. Pull everything out of your fellow students. Pull everything out of yourself.

Rule 4: Do all the work. Go to all the classes.

Rule 5: Try and try again. There's no win and no fail. There's only do and make.

Rule 6: Don't try to create and analyze at the same time. They're different processes.

Rule 7: Consider everything an experiment.

Rule 8: Be self-disciplined. Hold yourself accountable.

Rule 9: Keep things in balance. Take care of yourself.

Rule 10: Remember to have fun. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy the people around you.

H&S Attendance Policy

Attendance is required for all Humanities and Sciences courses. To pass Integrated Studies, students may not exceed 9 hours of absence. In all other Humanities and Sciences courses, students are permitted three absences before having their grade affected. In all courses, these permitted absences include absence due to personal matters or illness, and absences due to departmental commitments, such as rehearsals, performances, or show installation. In all cases, it is the responsibility of the student to alert his or her instructor of a pending absence and to make arrangements to complete all coursework in a timely manner. To minimize absences, students should take care to register for courses that fit their schedules and that do not conflict with other courses or internships.

NOTE: If students miss class for any reason, they are still responsible for turning in their work on time and for any material or assignments covered during the class meeting.
