Welcome To Th AGRC: What is this?

Welcome to the the Art Groop Resource Collective (AGRC). This blog has been established as an online component to the free-form discussions that will taking place every Friday morning during the summer II session. If you are currently taking my painting class or if you have a friend in the department who might benefit from this informal discussion about art issues please feel free to invite them to join us. The AGRC has been set up to engage specific questions students may have that are not traditionally covered in traditional studio or art history classes. Within the context of these dicussions it is hoped that all participating students will take it upon themselves to bring to the table their own reasearch and experience in order to provide a student-based discussion rather than a faculty directed one. The AGRC is not a replacement for student art groups already established in the department of art and design (such as FASA, ceramics, fibers clubs etc). Rather than take dues and plan group activities, AGRC is mostly commited and founded on the idea of spreading information and experience through group research and sharing on a voluntary basis. The ultimate goal for the student who attends AGRC is to be the best informed student he/she can be and to further each individual's transition from student to functioning artist and all that transition entails. The AGRC is for the student who wants more and is committed to researching and exploring what it means to be an artist in the context of the larger art world.

Art Groop Resource Collective will be meeting every Friday for entirety the second summer session. Each meeting will start promptly at 10:30AM in the student break room on the 1st floor of the Art building (JCM). All students are required to bring their questions and their voice. When possible we may take the meeting outdoors but only after everyone arrives. Check this site for further information an dschedule changes.
