NETT

Hello all,

The April meeting went wonderfully. It started out slowly, but about an hour into the meeting the table was absolutely full of artists who were having a great time meeting like-minded people! Thank you all for being a part of it.

NETT plans to hold an art challenge once a month - to be presented to the group during the following meeting - in order to keep our creative juices flowing in between gatherings.
This month's challenge (to be presented at the May meeting), if you choose to accept:
- 2 sketches
- 1 final drawing/painting/etc. (better larger than small)
The assignment is to - in either a book store or library - go to your favorite genre (fantasy, history, etc.) and pull out a random book (that you've never read) and illustrate the 137th page. Do not read any more of the book so that the illustration will remain as out of content as possible. Instead of bringing in an artist's statement for your pieces, bring in a photocopy or transcribed copy of the page which you drew (and the name of the book). Remember, you don't have to complete the challenge, but those who do will receive publicity on our page and a firm hand-shake from our barista.

Our next meeting will be held on Friday evening, May 11th, and Saturday morning, May 12th. More information will come. Be sure to bring a portfolio or something like it to show off to the group. We'd love to see your work! Feel free to bring anything you would like to work on, or bring as many pieces as you want to be critiqued. Lydia brought in her painting from the last challenge with questions about content and composition and she got some amazing feedback that she put to good use. Once you have a group critique you will never be able to finish a piece without it, I promise.

Again, thank you all for being a part of NETT!

The first NETT meeting will be held on March 2nd starting at 6pm! If you have any questions or concerns please message me (Rebekah) :)
