So obviously we haven't been using the blog much... Eh he... partly my fault, partly me not knowing what to do.
I promise you all that things will start going full speed starting January, February. That's how it happened last year, anyway, and we had a whole bunch of fun, so don't worry. It's not like you signed up for art club for nothing!
I'm not completely sure what to blog about... right now I'm blogging because I figured we needed a new post. Also I'm procrastinating. But more the fact is that we needed something else to read.
What do you all suppose I should write about as we wait for things to get going? Ah! I know! The Grand Plan!
So, I guess this could be called an update. I'm going to summarize the idea of our main project (hopefully correctly.)
OUR PROJECT: It is a tiled mural, generally, and it is full of color and individuality. Each artist will be granted their own tile, (made of some wood of sorts) which they can cut up into smaller pieces of tile or share with another person to work that tile as a collaborative tile. The focus and main idea with the art that will be placed on these tiles will be change- how has life/high school/ideas/thinking changed for the particular artist lately? How have they dealt with this change?
The more complex ideas, the more intense changes and pictures will be colored more in neutrals, signifying that the idea itself is more significant than the appearance. The more simple, or less chaotic/complex ideas of change will be colored in more saturated hues and values, bright and blasting.
The simpler and more saturated tiles will be in the middle, right next to each other as if they are puzzle pieces. As you get farther out from the center, though, the tiles will get progressively neutral in color and more complex in thinking. The tiles will start to "float" away from the center, and it will look as if the whole tile mosaic is slowly exploding.
I think that sums it up. What do you guys think? I think it will be cool.

Update
Hey everyone!
I don't want to leave anyone in the dark about what is happening in the Renegade Art Club, so I'll sum up what is currently going on:
The council had a meeting today, and we talked about what the big project will be in art club this year. All of us had some ideas, and sooner or later we got to the idea of a mural. We are still in the decision and design process, but in the end the whole art club will decide and vote together on what we will actually be doing. The theme, we decided, would be something around high school and the challenges and changes it brings on. We are also thinking of it to be movable or able to be taken apart in cases of renovation.
On another note, we may be holding a fundraiser sometime to get some cash to buy needed art materials for the big project. Keep that in the back of your minds- nothing is happening yet, but just know that there is a possibility of us selling art to fund for our project.
One more thing- we are half way (?) through the bi-monthly contest time. So, you have one more month to make a nice piece of art that signifies what inspires you. Who knows, maybe you'll get a gift card! I just wanted to remind you all. :)
Next Meeting: Since the council is still deciding on the big project, we figure that the next full art club meeting will be the Wednesday the week after conferences. So a bit ways away.
I think that's it! I hope you all have a wonderful day and a great long weekend!

New Bi-Mo Contest Theme
Just wanted to let everyone know that there is a theme for the Bi-Mo Contest (finally!) You can check the theme by clicking the page "Bi-Monthly Contest." It's on there.
Also, I'm seriously missing eating doughnuts at Saturday workshops, so people, give us some ideas.WE NEED IDEAS. Even if you think your idea may be lame, any idea is better than no idea at all. And no idea is a bad one... well, not really, but you get what I mean. Even if it is just a baby idea, that's alright.
People who want to be part of the "Council"or "League" or whatever you call it-
E-mail, comment, or tell me, Sam, Cassidy, or Mr. Manternach if you want to be part of the Council. I'll be making a list. Just make sure you can make as many meetings as possible, and maybe more. It's not like you'll be a president or anything, so don't worry, you'll just have a larger say in what's going on in art club.
I'd really like to get the Renegade Art Club moving along, so let's start getting ideas!!
Hope you all have a great day, and don't forget to smile! :)

Ideas!
Hey everyone!
So we've been discussing what our big project should be for this year. Please comment, vote, or suggest ideas on this post, e-mail them, or just tell Mr.Manternach, Cassidy, or Sam.
Here are some ideas proposed so far:
-Poolside Mural
-Downtown Warehouse Mural
-Mosaic
(I don't have the expensive ideas up on here because, well, they are expensive. Not saying they aren't good though.)
Please give us ideas!! :)
Also, we need to have council members sooner or later, so figure out if you can and want to be a council member or not- I believe we will be figuring that out Thursday, or at least signing up for it. Make sure you can come to all the meetings if you want to be a council member!
Have a great day, everybody!

Forms
I forgot to put this in the e-mail, so might as well put it up on here, right?
Remember to turn in your permission slips, and remember you also need $5 along with that. If you have unfortunately lost your permission slip, just go to the page "Handouts from Meetings" and it's right there.
Also, there is a contest I'd like to share with you guys. It's held by celebratingart.com, and all you have to do is make a pretty picture, (or sculpture, even) take a picture of it or scan it, and send it in via the internet. Then you wait a little bit, and then you see if they want to publish your art in their book of art! Here's the link to the website: http://celebratingart.com/index.php. Ask me or comment on here if you have any questions on joining- I've done it two times before, and I'm entering again, so I can help you out, if needed.
I believe that is all- if I think of anything else, I'll just add some more info to the post or something along the lines of that. Have a great day!

Coming Soon To A Blog Near You
Well my friends, let me tell you- this blog is going to be used next year.
At least, I hope so.
Anyway, I hope you like the new look. I'm going to try my best to make this blog full of answers to your Art Club questions, and also, simply, just easy to view. Comment if you have an idea for the blog, such as a new page that would be helpful or a new way to organize everything. Also, to comment, I believe you need to follow the blog. The follow button is over to the right of your screen- do you see it? Yeah, the one with "Followers." Follow the blog and you can leave comments and questions. This blog is still under construction, but once I figure everything out, it will be a rather nice blog.
So, until then, have a great, renegadeous summer! See you all in August!

Friendly Reminder
Hello all you Renegade Arts Members!
Just a friendly reminder to all of you that we are having studio days Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. Also, every other Saturday is a Studio day too, and it goes from 9 to 2-ish. (Also, if you come to the Saturday Workshops, you may get donuts or bagels!) The next Saturday Workshop is the 11th of February. Remember that one Saturday counts as two after-school studio days, and that either you make a Saturday workshop or you attend the after school studio days once or, if you can, twice a week. If you have time, you could even come in a morning or in a study hall, if it works out with Mr. Manternach.
Remember that the last pot-making day is March 16th, the last bisque is the 23rd,and the last glaze firing is the 30th. Procrastinating something we do not want to do now- so start making pots! Renegade Arts will not be on your transcript unless you make 3+ pots.
And yeah, I'm probably bribing you right now... Saturday Workshops have donuts!!
