WHAT TO BRING

Your curiosity, a way to take notes, and any drinks/snacks you 

may want to bring, for yourself, or to share 

(please keep COVID safety protocols in mind).

Great words of advice from one of my favorite artist/designers, Lisa Congdon. See this previous post for more info.

Hello students!

Lots of information for the first week of classes.. lets bring things closer to home – your studio. 

Above is a video of a latest piece. You can also find a video of me giving you a tour of my studio in Canvas under “Announcements.”

Whether your studio is your sketchbook, your dining room table or a room for you own (Have you read Virginia Wolf’s “Room of One’s Own”? )… a studio is so important for an artist and designer. A place to be messy, to let ideas linger and work, work, work. Being an artist/designer is work! But little by little or “Bird by Bird” (as Anne Lamott says) you will have a hard drive of design files, a bookshelf full of sketchbooks and a body of work to exhibit. Trust in yourself.

Studios are important to both fine artists and graphic designers.. stumbled upon these cool links and wanted to share.

What does your “studio” look like? 

Hello artists!

The Fine Art and Graphic Design Department is looking for a few student assistants to help with the gallery and misc administrative tasks and some design work. You have to be on Financial Aid and have Work Study as part of your aid package. It’s $13/hr for up to 20 hours a week, working completely around your schedule.

Interested? Let me know! millerk1@palmbeachstate.edu

Also, the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County in downtown Lake Worth is advertising a great opportunity for a student intern. Check it out!
