Dig Our Current Students!

Ok, I know I miss out on SOME accomplishments, but sometimes I'm able to catch something and put one or two up for posterity.

"Posterity" is a big $10 word that means "forever." Only it sounds smarter. Feel free to use that.

Here is the article on Laura Byrne's book, of which we are all jealous but happy at the same time.

There will be a lot of that happy/jealous dichotomy in your life (if you're lucky) so be of good cheer and offer congrats to Laura. Laura, keep pursuing projects like this one!

Paint The Beehive!

Hi Gang,

We have a beehive to paint. Not a hairdo, this is the real thing. As in, "apiary" (where bees will live).

It was delivered today and we (UConn Artists) need to paint it before May, when the UConn bee people will pick it up.

NOT this: click here

This.

This could be so much fun- think about how bees/beehives have been used symbolically and to what end. This is fabulous material!!

HOT PROJECT- Get to Work!

Who: Residence Hall Association (RHA) here at UConn

What: They need various visual id things- a logo first, then mural panels (think "posters" at large poster size), etc. Lots of fun, visible stuff that you can use for promotion, your resume, etc.

Keep This in Mind:

• The RHA is made up of: "do-ers," high energy, friendly, approachable student leaders
  
• The RHA deals with the residents on campus. They foster improvement, change and act as advocates for students
• The RHA works toward community building, networking, and fuller, improved experiences for residents
• RHA defines itself differently from USG as: welcoming, facilitates and engages community

A Few Key Words to Build Upon:

• Academics/Scholarship
  
• Social/Friendship
  
• Connection/Community
  

We need to meet to get the ball rolling on this- it's a great opportunity to really make some visible work that goes out into the campus and says "Ain't illustration GREAT?!"
