Starting Some Contests

Back when I started here, they had a monthly contest for Life Drawing and you could win a sketch book. I was thinking we should bring that back. And instead of a boring sketchbook from the school, we could let the winner choose their own design from here (I get a discount at all Barns and Noble's.)

I was also thinking of doing a monthly Themed drawing contest, the prize being the same. Where we'd pick a theme and you do a piece about that theme.

I just think it would be a good way to get people motivated to do more drawings and stuff.

Anyone in the school could enter, our club would just be hosting it and picking the winner each month.

Let me know what you guys think and stuff.

Fish vs. Bowling Ball

I'll be editing this post soon to fully explain what this is, but for now, here's the model sheet for your fish. Practice, it's mostly a ball with fins. Enjoy!

YAY SNOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys

Hi, guys,

So, after tomorrow I know a lot of people are going to be upset, or confused about what's going on in the Animation Department, and how we're going to move forward without Roby Gilbert as our academic director. I also know that alot of you are new-ish students and didn't know Roby very well. Regardless, you may be concerned, or maybe you just have some irks about the program that you'd like to get off your chest. Maybe you have suggestions for improvements, or want to stress something in particular that you think would help better your education.

Chad and I, in association with the Student Council, have set up this E-mail:

Animationstudentconcerns@gmail.com

Here, you can e-mail your concerns and suggestions to the Animation/GAD Student Council representatives, and help them prioritize the issues in our department. This isn't our attempt at "sticking it to the man"; we want to do everything we can to help the students organize their concerns in a way that will help the administration understand our voices.

Anything from "All these animation tables are broken!", to "I'm really sad about so and so...I wish it could be this way." are welcome. Even if you just want to vent, that's what it's there for.

You can write anonymously, and your information (e-mail address, name) will only be used to contact you if we organize a meeting and want to contact you about it. You will only be held responsible for what you write if it is threatening, grossly inapporpraite, or harmful to the cause (in which case we'll probably just block your e-mail and be done with it).

When we have enough informtion, we hope to organize a meeting of the department as students so we may come together and develope our priorities. From there, Student Council aims to organize meetings specifically designed to help advance the animation department, and resolve these concerns.

This is a new thing, so please test it out. If you have Animation friends with concerns, pass on the e-mail and this message.

Our goal is to make sure each student is heard; we're here listen.

P.S. Please note that neither this effort, nor any student organization has any influence over how AIS deals with their faculty and employment issues. This is not a petition. We are not radicals. This is an openly student run effort that aims to aid the administration as they strive to better the school.

Remember kids

Every Saturday we're gonna meet in the Animation lab and watch movies, listen to music and animate. It's a good atmosphere to do your work in. Labs open at 10am, hope you can make it.
