Advising Day for Spring Quarter

EDIT: SEQA Faculty have been pulled into a meeting at 1pm and will not be able to begin advising early as we had hoped. See everyone in 4C at 2pm!

Advising in is the 4C Event Space from 2-4pm for the official Advising Day event. Do NOT miss Advising Day. Get your friends and classmates to come to advising too. You don't want courses you need canceled due to poor registration because other students didn't get advised. So grab them and bring them with you!

Caricature Demo

Grad student Pat Bollin will be giving a Caricature Demo for the Illustration Department this Friday, January 29th, at 11am in room 379. He is an amazing artist with a background doing caricatures at theme parks and large events. It's highly recommended you stop by and check it out. He's amazing! Redundant? Yes. But he's freakin' amazing!

Matt Bernier review of SCAD-Atlanta

Matt Bernier, who came to our Fall Artists' Forum in 2009 along with Sean Murphy, posted up his review of SCAD-Atlanta's SEQA program and his experience during the forum. To say it is a glowing review is an understatement. Here is a choice paragraph worth quoting in totality:

"Everyone drawing below the industry top 5%: watch the fuck out. As iron sharpens iron, so these artists sharpen each other. This is a school that turns down applicants. This is a school that gives failing grades to unpublishable- emphasis on PUBLISHABLE- work. This is a school that listens to its teachers, fosters a culture of greatness, and turns out the best students I have ever seen. Several students I met were currently working on books for ONI while still in school. Others had gigs lined up, or were in the process of it. I saw exactly 2 students who weren't ready to work at a totally pro level right then."

We highly recommend checking out his entire review here and Bernier's blog here. While his leaning is toward the independent, he has loads of tips and tricks with tools and materials for sequential artists!
