THE GAME ROOM

Tuesday Nights is the name of our class and The Game Room is where we meet when we are not together.

Got a idea that just can't wait...tell us about it.
You need to hash something out, maybe we can help.
Or maybe you just want to see what everybody else is up to.
Post links, post pictures, post questions or just ask one.


My Philosophy.
I teach through action and immersion. Just keep moving, contemplate later. In art, for me at least, there are times of rest and contemplation, and times of work. Art making is a time for work. It is the time to pull from the mental and make physical. Create a reality, a piece of art. For this the contemplative brain needs to move over, the art critic side isn’t even invited to the party. Learn to ask and answer your own questions on the move. The sooner I can get you making art the better. Get something done and then we have something to talk about.

Tuesday Nights, Playing with Trash!


TUESDAY NIGHTS
Recycle, Reuse, Recover,
Reutilize, Recondition, Recontextualize.

  I’m inviting you and 19 other artists to play with Trash. I’m inviting you to create something beautiful, provocative and just plan fun out of something unloved, rejected, thrown away. In the tradition of Marcel Ducamp, we are going to work with the Readymade. We will end our fun with a Spring Exhibition, what better a time then the time of renewal! As always, complete artistic freedom is not only allowed but encouraged.
  “Tuesday Nights” is an Art Class/Workshop for local creative types, which is built around a project idea that ends in an exhibition. Mostly this is a way to advance your creative skills while socializing with others of your artistic ilk.
  We don't care about how long you have been at it. Some of us have been plowing the creative fields for a while, others are just starting, all that matters is your willingness to jump in and take chances; after all it's only art. If you have never played with us before check it out or blog. http://tuesdaynights-thegameroom.blogspot.com/

I want this to be a social and communal art event. 


Goals for the class

1.    The building of an artistic community through socialization with other artist. (There is something to be said about breathing the air of other creative souls.)
2.    Building artistic community through exhibitions. (It’s not about selling; it is about developing artistic energy through sharing with a larger community. Think of it as A Happening.)
3.   To learn to Critique your own and others work effectively.
4.   To develop technical proficiency in a variety of media and/or methods,
       by planning, designing and completing projects.
