Abington Art Center

This Friday we will be meeting at Abington Art Center @ 10:00 am. We should be done with the tour by 11:00 am. Be prepared to walk around outside a bit - even if it is raining.

The Abington Art Center is about a 15 minute drive from campus with ample parking. Map it for yourselves - I expect you all to be on time.

See you then.

September 23rd - the Clay Studio

This Friday we will meet @ the Clay Studio @ 10:30 for a tour. I suggest leaving Arcadia by 9:30 am.

The Clay Studio website:
http://www.theclaystudio.org/exhibitions/upcoming.php

Admission will be free for you on Friday. There is a $25 tour fee that I will cover that will be split equally between the 20 students enrolled in the class.

Parking can be a little funky on 2nd street where the Clay Studio is located. Chances are that there will be street parking on that day. If not, be sure to have an idea where a parking lot is located.

See this page for parking and directions.

Fictional Characters and Dinner guests

It was great to meet all of you on Friday. I look forward to an interesting, thought provoking and wonderful semester.

I am waiting on confirmation for our first visit off campus this Friday. Plan to meet in front of Eastern State Penitentiary at 10 am this Friday, September 9, unless you hear otherwise from me.

Be sure to bring a sketchbook or a notebook and something to write with. If we are approved to go...rain or shine we will having class. See you then!
