09/21/08 - Academic Art Instruction - Where Can I Get This?

Academic Art Instruction is all the rage now. Some call it the Atelier Method. The word "atelier" is French for "artists studio": which makes it obvious the roots of this movement go back to the French Academic movement (but much further back if you trace their inspiration).

...to be continued, hopefully by guest bloggers and collaborators!

(add to this blog post - email me and I 'll tell you how!)

07/15/07 - Collaboration: The Sum is Greater Than the Parts!

My goal in setting up this blog were many fold (and continue to be) but besides just promoting our group and our goals (see mission statement, still a work in progress, hint, hint..) was to have a collaborative site that was more (grander, more intelligent, more insightful, more knowledgeable, more inspiring, unfettered by geographical restraints...OK , I hope you get my drift..) than any one person. This is a TEAM blog and anyone who is regular attendee (heck, just come to more than one meeting..) is encouraged to ask me to be added to the group (a quick and painless procedure).

SO I was greatly pleased on one hand and little frustrated on the other when a visitor to our last CCG meeting sent me several ideas for posts. Pleased because this is the type of collaboration that can make this site really click and frustrated because for the most part this blog ends up being my singular voice. Please support this blog with your posts, comments or even emails (for the very shy :-) . Opposing viewpoints or opinions are encouraged... an ongoing dialog is a great way to learn and grow!

01/26/06 - Building the Team

I have sent out invitations to some CCG members - if you have responded you should see your name added under Contributors in the left column of this blog. If you don't see your name and you responded to the invitation email let me know and I will send out another invite. You have to follow the link that comes in the email invitation. You may need to copy and paste the url into your browser - clicking the link in your email might not work.

Membership will allow you to post to the blog - not just add comments to existing posts. This should allow us to share and exchange work in the online environment.

Scott R - can you tell me how to set up a subscription service (for folks that don't know RSS) like you have on your project blog?
