Remember what Eleanor Catton always said: “A trip to the picture framer’s, with a selection of prints, is the most joyous outing I can imagine. I’ve spent more money on framing than on anything else I own.”

Merit Scholarship Deadline: THIS THURSDAY!

February 28, 2012

VISUAL ART MERIT SCHOLARSHIP COMPETITION 2012- 2013

Approximately $40,000 in scholarship, up to full tuition, is awarded on the basis of artistic merit.

ELIGIBILITY: Current and prospective full-time undergraduate art majors seeking a first B.A. degree and needing at least 24 additional credit hours for graduation who have not defaulted on a previous CSU Merit Scholarship agreement within the past year.

 Applying is easy:
  • be an art major
  • entry form
  • six images
  • optional artist statement

For detailed information including requirements, process and entry form download: MERIT application_NEW 2012-2013

A note: I highly recommend consulting with your area faculty member on the portfolio you submit. In the past, those photo students I’ve consulted with have done much better than those who’ve edited the work on their own, or included non-class related projects.  I’m just sayin’…

Classes will meet at the Cleveland Metropark Zoo this Friday.  Bring your camera or other art media to take advantage of the free tickets provided by SOFA.

You can pick up wristbands at the entrance from 10am-11am, or at the picnic in the back parking lot from 1pm- 2:30pm.  If you arrive at another time, call or text Omid at 216.224.3470.  Someone will meet  you at the gate.

For more information on the zoo trip visit this previous post.

NOTES:

  • Photo I may either work in the darkroom (sign in on the sign up sheet on the door) or go on the zoo trip during class time (bring evidence of work made at the zoo to class).  Either way, attendance is required.
  • Photo II & III should plan to go to the zoo.  While there, I want you to make one cool piece to display in the hall next week.  Tip: make something that nobody else would think to make on a zoo field trip. Don’t swallow the proscribed views, rather do something creative.  Attendance is required.  You will not be able to access the AB7 lab on Friday.
Also, the zoo is having a photo contest with the deadline of Nov 1.  Click here for more information.
