End of the Year Cookout

NAEA National Convention

Four of our Student Chapter officers gave a presentation on our club's service learning project: the Reedy Fork Elementary media center mural. Our club supervisor was there to introduce us! There were tons of presentations given by students, teachers, professors, and authors.

Ceramics Workshop

We had a wheel-throwing workshop with local artist, Po-Wen (http://powenliu.blogspot.com/ ).

Most of the members that came to the workshop were learning for the first time how to throw a piece on the pottery wheel. It was a great learning experience and it was fun to meet and work with an artist from our community.

The event will take place on April 22 (Earth Day) from 3:30-5pm. The compitetion will be to collect canned and nonpershible food items and we will create a sculpture out of these items. The group with the best sculpure wins! We came in second place last year, lets see if we can take first this year! :)

Because of the bad weather, the celebration was rescheduled. It will now be taking place on Tuesday, March 23 from 5:00 to 7:00pm. If you are interested and available to volunteer at this time they would love to have your artistic talents put to use. If you want to sign up please email Maria Lim at e_lim@uncg.edu . Also,it would be great if you could be there by 4:45  to set up and find out what you will be doing. If any of you are willing/able to draw caricatures or quick portraits let Maria Lim know!

CERAMICS WORKSHOP!!!

Hi Everyone,

 

UNCG NAEA is hosting a free hands-on ceramics workshop with Po-Wen Liu. He has work on display at the Green Hill Gallery at the Cultural Arts Center and has his own professional studio: Natural Green Pottery Studio. Please check out his website at http://powenliu.blogspot.com/ to see his work.

 

The workshop will be held on Friday, March 19 at 4:30-6:30pm in the Studio Arts building ceramics room in the basement level. Po-Wen Liu will give clay demonstrations and you will get the chance to create your own piece. We will need to know how much clay to have prepared, so if you are interested in attending you must sign up by responding to this e-mail. Please respond by Wednesday, March 17, if you are planning to attend.

 

Also, we will have a follow up workshop on Friday, April 30. This will be the glaze workshop. It will be in the same location from 4:30-6:30pm. You must have attended the clay workshop to be able to attend the glaze workshop (but you are not required to attend both if you can only come to the first).

 

Don't miss out on this great opportunity!

His solo and collaborative projects include creating a game show for ideas, opening a fake store in an indoor shopping mall, starting a restaurant that secretly runs via take-out from its double across the street, broadcasting an office's telephone conversations through a talking piano, running a neighborhood truck that gives away free homemade goods and services, operating a radio station that only plays the sound of an extinct bird, developing a hypnotized human robot army, producing a cable access variety show at a senior center, and developing a free nomadic art school. He has exhibited video, drawings, installations and public projects internationally including at The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; The Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporaneo, Mexico; The Rooseum, Sweden; Internationale Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen, Germany; Nemo Film Festival, Paris; as well as in backyards, living rooms, and street corners.
