"Chalk it up to Art" -- Sidewalk Chalk Event
The Club supplied the chalk and invited passersby to draw on the surfaces of Bogle Plaza with the ultimate goal of filling the Plaza up with imagery (we came close). The Club will probably be making it an annual event to kick off the new school year.

In addition, official brochures were designed to promote the Club and determine how volunteers would like to help. Brochure holders were put up all over the Art and Graphic Design departments.
Some Great News:
The President's Advisory Council on Art, a new committee on campus, to help increase the visibility of art on the NWACC campus has accepted the idea of outfitting the Student Center rooms 108 A and B with gallery hanging systems. This idea was proposed by Darney Willis in conjunction with a written statement by Stephanie Lewis (NWACC Art Club Advisor) and Sarah Carson (President of the NWACC Art Club). These physical changes will turn the rooms into a viable exhibition space with premium exposure to people as well as a well-suited environment to artists' receptions.

Next semester:
The Face:
Jesus in Art (Film)
Admission to this film will be any art supply an audience member would like to donate (piece of charcoal, tube of paint, pad of paper, easel, etc.), which will be donated to the Circle of Life Hospice Art Program. From Amazon.com: "This two-hour documentary traces the dramatically different ways in which Jesus has been represented in art throughout history and around the world. Narrated by Mel Gibson, Ricardo Montalban, Bill Moyers, Edward Herrmann, Patricia Neal and others, the program utilizes the latest digital technology and motion control photography to reconstruct and relocate works into their original locations. Amazing digital morphing sequences dramatically illustrate how the image of Jesus has changed over time while unique special effects virtually reconstruct art that has been destroyed or lost forever. A sweeping and visually riveting lesson in art history, The Face: Jesus In Art is a documentary of stunning beauty and unprecedented innovation."
In March, the Club, in assocation with the Drama Club/Department, will be helping with the set design for Tommy.
Also, in March, there will be another Guest Artist Lecture (TBA).
Film Night on the Square
Sometime during the month of April, the Club will be sponsoring a family friendly animated feature on the Bentonville Square (TBA).
