I just wanted to catch you up on what happened at our last meeting (a little over a week ago... woops).
1) We are still waiting to get the final design for the mural at the Springfield Police Station. As soon as Meredith receives it we will be setting up a schedule for us to go in and put it up on the wall. We have already gotten a couple of responses, but if you are interested in helping with any part of the mural (drawing, painting, providing supplies) leave a comment or email us at msuart09@gmail.com.
2) Cider Days was this past weekend. I do believe that some of you guys volunteered at that with the YMCA... how did that go? It was pretty rainy all weekend. ):
3) Speaking of the YMCA, we had planned on doing an art workshop fundraiser at the Y on Halloween morning. Some things came up and got changed around. This is what's happening now: the Downtown YMCA is putting on an art day on Halloween morning (Saturday, October 31). It's not quite the same as what we were planning on doing, but we still want to be involved. Therefore, the Y has said that we can put our name "Missouri State University National Art Education Association Student Chapter" (man, that's a mouthful) on the event and we can help out that day. I'm not completely sure of the details, so I will have Kelsey get to you all on that when she gets the nitty gritty worked out with them. I still think it would be great for us to have our art workshop, but it looks like a better time for doing that would be this spring. More time to plan! :)
4) As the officers of NAEA Missouri State University Student Chapter, Meredith, Kelsey, Kate and I, really want for you guys to get the most out of this club/association/society... whatever you wanna call it. For that reason we would be super excited for all of you to get involved. What do you want out of NAEA? If you guys could do us a favor and answer that question for us (leave a comment or email) that would be awesome. We want to provide ways for you to get involved with the school and community, have fun, be able to have something to put on your resume, and get to know other art education majors at Missouri State. [*Just a little side note... you don't have to be an art education major to join NAEA so invite anyone you know who supports the arts, arts in schools, or school to join. :) ] We are striving to revamp NAEA and build it up this year. We can't do it without your help!
Again, if any of you have any ideas for NAEA whatsoever let us know.
Thanks guys! Stay tuned for upcoming events and goodies!!!
