February 13, 2009 LCCSAA Meeting
UPCOMING EVENTS
-Movie / Collaborative Art Project / Potluck
Friday, February 20, 2009, 4PM in the LCC art department gallery
Still not sure what we’ll show, so if you have any suggestions please send them in. Something artsy, but not necessarily a documentary. The LCC and Eugene libraries have a good selection of films to choose from, can someone scour something from one of those?
Bring a bowl, eating utensil, and art implements, though some will be available if forgotten. Food and a pillow might also be nice (pillow because of possible seating issues, we have 20 chairs, but who knows what will happen; we can probably borrow chairs from an unused classroom though).
After the movie we’ll do a collaborative piece of some kind, maybe an exquisite corpse? Logo drawing? Start a drawing and pass it to the next person in a circle? Suggestions welcome.
Suggested films: Rezfest, Art21
Talked about doing this every other week, possibly on changing times and days, though Friday is a dead day in the art department. Projector just needs to be reserved by one of the group’s advisers the week of the movie showing, and the gallery needs to be reserved with Jenny Sulzman.
-Lane Preview Night
March 4, 2009, 6PM
The event starts at 6PM with an information fair. Once again, having examples of student artwork either physical or photographed would be great. I’ll put a stack of waiver forms in the art faculty room (end of second hallway in building 11 right before blue chairs) with an example filled out – just need your name, signature, and the date if submitting the original work. Again, please include the class you made the piece in and the instructor’s name.
Free gallery t-shirts for students who help out at the event! Email Sage3639@hotmail.com if you can.
-Denali is seeking submissions!
Denali deadline for the Spring 2009 issue is April 10th, 2009 at 5PM! For more information visit Denali’s website at http://www.lanecc.edu/denali/
-High School LCC Visitation
April 10th, 2009
We have been asked to take charge of an interactive art workshop for high school students, ideas and suggestions for the workshop(s) are much appreciated!
We need a ceramic project (usually just giving students a chance to play on the wheels), a printmaking project, a drawing project and a color/painting project.
Suggested workshop ideas: Minimalist, charcoal; Many different mediums to experiment with; Cloth / Wool dying.
Other suggestions: Give tour of art building; Have artwork created from various art departments/classes there in workshop.
Keep in mind: Materials will be paid for by school; We have to clean up whatever mess is made; We will have students for an hour to an hour and a half; Minimal might be best with possible short attention spans
-JS Bird show opening
Corvallis at the Art Center, Thursday, February 19, 5-7PM
-World Café open mic with collaborative painting
Every Tuesday, 7-11PM (or later)
Some really great jam sessions that go on here, with a huge canvas to freely paint on (paints and brushes supplied).
ANNOUNCEMENTS
-LCCSAA mail/drop box
Located in the art department’s general office room (second door on the right). It’s the one in the lower right corner, labeled LCCSAA on the inside. We appreciate notes and surprises and things we ask for put in here, unless malicious.
-LCCSAA website!
http://LCC-SAA.blogspot.com
-Blue lounge chairs / New art department ideas!
Many have expressed a dislike for the chairs being located in front of the bathrooms, and want to swap them with the pedestals. Mary Jo has explained that due to past vandalism of the pedestals, the wall protrusion was built to hide them, and making the swap would destroy that safety cove.
She sympathized with us and said that space is very limited in the art department, faculty feel the crunch as well.
Mary Jo has suggested that members of the LCCSAA attend the open meetings for the development of the new art department. There, we can ask for student space – perhaps even one specifically designated for the LCCSAA. Let your voice be heard! Officers could act as representatives for the student body on what they would like to see happen. Email in your ideas for what the new art department should contain and we will take them to the discussion table.
-Collecting photographs of student artwork!
Please email them in to LCCSAA@gmail.com, put them in our mailbox, or ask Sage to photograph the work by emailing him at Sage.Liskey@gmail.com
At the very least, please include the class you created the work in and the instructor’s name. Mediums used and some brief description of the project guidelines would be good too. These will be used at events to expose prospective students to the arts of Lane Community College.
-Collecting art resources (books, supplies, paper, references, etc).
Please put them in the LCCSAA mailbox, or directly into the art faculty room. Do not donate trash!
-Constitution has been okayed by group members
Now it needs to be reviewed by the administration that handles new groups. Tentatively we will become official on the 23rd of February.
QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERS
-Art show deadlines?
LCC Student Art Show – Sometime in April? Juried by professionals.
League of innovation competition – juried by faculty
-New art building meetings
When are the meetings and who will express opinions regarding what students need in the new building? Maybe we should collect written statements.
OTHER TOPICS OF CONVERSATION
-Lane County Youth Career Fair
Thanks everyone who submitted work! It was a big success and a lot of people are excited about attending lane.
-Billboard
Someone needs to talk to Amelia about the size of the billboard she offered to donate. Suggested position of the billboard is above the drinking fountain next to the bathrooms.
Everything that goes onto the billboard should be signed and dated by the department, specifically relating to the LCCSAA (no general stuff), and removed once under expiration.
A suggestion box will be put onto the billboard for anyone with comments or suggestions or what have you.
-Art faculty meeting room needs to be reserved prior to use.
-LCCSAA weekly meetings
With or without administrators to touch basis with. 5 hours a term is very limited.
Perhaps have officer meetings without voting?
As we begin to handle more tasks and events, we will need to set aside time to prepare for them.
-Logo - Do we want branding?
JS Bird knows a student excellent with logos, though may not want to do a commission.
Could have a logo drawing party and just have everyone sit down and produce ideas.
Logos are good for catching the eyes of people, it’s how advertising works.
-Should we change our name?
An acronym that can be said as a word would be better. Satoko has suggested “Lane Association of Student Artists” (LASA). We’d have to change all of our web-established names though upon making the change. LCCSAA is already established in peoples’ minds though.

I'll get back to you with more details.
QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERS
