Art Guild and Photography Club meetings, February 27, 2012

The Arts Guild and Photography Club will hold their next meetings on Monday, February 27, 2012. The February meeting will be a "Let's Talk Art" meeting.  Bring in a piece of artwork that you want to show and ask questions and talk about your work.  The Photography group is going to do something similar.  This will be a great opportunity to review and get feedback on your art and ideas of some things you can do with it.  Let's learn from each other.

Also, we will have drinks for refreshments.  Feel free to bring snacks. 

Looking forward to the meeting and lots of good creative talk about your work.

Magdalene House Meeting Re-cap

On Monday night, January 31, 2012, an exciting turn out of Arts Guild members met at the Magdalene House in Louisville. Over 30 people showed up for the collage workshop lead by Casey Sullivan. Everyone made colleges out magazine clippings, colorful collections of paper, lines from poetry excerpts, and drawing materials. We were happy to see some new faces in the crowd and hope that they will consider joining our club!

The Photography Club met after the Arts Guild Meeting, with a lighting demonstration presented by Richard Schickling. Studio lighting was explained as well as techniques for professionally photographing small objects.
