BAG Art Events

Evening Art Meetup, BCC Kiva Room, on Wed Sept 22 6-8 pm
This is a great opportunity to get together for some social art activity, especially for those who can't attend meetings and art activities during the workday. Please RSVP at this link. Here are some options for what we might do that evening:
  1. Group activity: everyone bring a sketchbook and a crazy hat or prop so we can take turns sketching each other.
  2. Group activity: everyone bring some watercolor paper, pencil, or waterproof pen, a couple brushes, and a sprig or handful of autumn leaves. Kim will bring Ph Martin's liquid watercolors and show you how to create a colorful collage painting of autumn leaves.
  3. Group activity: everyone bring some art to share, with optional technique discussion or gentle critique.
  4. Individual activity: everyone bring something of their own to work on.
  5. Other ideas?
