CLUBS, CLUBS and MORE CLUBS!

Club recruitment has begun! Here's the news regarding our clubs this year. There are THREE:

Art club is for students who want to have a little more time with their art, and want to explore other forms of visual art in a smaller, more casual setting. These meetings will take place the FIRST and THIRD MONDAYS (excluding Teacher Planning Days or holidays)

This club is for students who want to explore the use of their digital cameras, either on their phones, using a point-and-shoot digital camera, or a DSLR (like Nikon or Canon). Students will learn about snazzy tricks and embark on photo scavenger hunts, Photo Challenges, and learn basic editing techniques, etc. Meetings times will be once a month... SECOND MONDAY OF THE MONTH :) (excluding Teacher Planning Days or holidays)

This club was requested from several of you and I caved. We will meet once a month, Every FOURTH MONDAY (excluding Teacher Planning Days or holidays)! You'll be able to chat about your favorite Anime/Manga, screen age-appropriate movies, discuss Japanese culture and maybe even create OCs and make cool crafts.

Pick up applications in the art room (Room 30) starting Wednesday :)

INKTOBER is Upon Us!

Inktober is an initiative by illustrator, Jake Parker to help fellow artists (amateurs and professionals alike) get in the habit of drawing EVERY DAY.

Started in 2009, it has become a highly popular yearly event on Instagram.

How does it work?
Simple... check out the Inktober daily prompts (scroll down) and simply do the drawings per day and in order, in your sketchbook. After you're done with the daily drawing, take a picture (make it a good one in good lighting and do the appropriate editing), hashtag it #INKTOBER when you post it to Instagram. That's it.

What supplies do we use?
Ink. In whatever form you prefer. Copic multiliner, Pentel Pens, white ink pens, Sakura pens, Micron pens, Prismacolor pens, or good 'ol ballpoint pens. Any color, doesn't matter. As long as it's not pencil or charcoal. You can even use a dip pen or brush with India ink or Sumi ink.  Scroll down on Jake Parker's page about Inktober to check out the cool stuff he uses. But don't think you have to buy anything. Like I've mentioned, I use ballpoint pen for my professional artwork and I do just fine with it ;)

What do I get in return for doing all these drawings?
1. The satisfaction of knowing YOU CAN DO IT.
2. Oh yeah, and THREE (3) extra credit grades at the end of October!

What if I don't have Instagram?
No worries, you simply do the drawings in your sketchbook, date them and label them with the matching prompt and you're good to go!

So... October starts SUNDAY... get to it!! :D Can't wait to see what you do!!
