Message Board Topic: Not Just a Phone

According to Wired Magazine, in five years the phone will have replaced the home pc, the digital camera, the movie camera/camcorder, MP3 player and other devices. As the "phone" can do so much, can we really call them phones any more?

How does having access to all of these devices in your purse or pocket change the way we do things?

How does it allow us to make "more art"?

Does it allow us to make better art?

Message Board Topic: Social Media and Art

How has "social media" (Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, etc.) impacted art? How has social media allowed us to see more art?

Think about sites like DeviantArt. Are sites like this improving the quality of art being shown?

Message Board Topic: "Corporate Branding Yourself"

A corporate brand is the verbal and visual package which symbolizes a company or product. It is usually developed as a logo, website, brochure, business card etc.

Think of how you might represent yourself as a "brand". What would that brand be? (make sure to keep this school appropriate). What would it look like?

Examples of brands include: Disney, Coca-Cola, Nintendo, GAP, Marvel.

Message Board Topic: Seeing "Art"

We often forget that we are surrounded by art. The cereal box from your breakfast - art. The clothes in your closet - art. The design on your textbook or backpack - art. We are literally surrounded with people's creations.

List 10 examples of art around you right now.

Message Board Topic: Tuesday, March 20 at 2:20 in room 1202

Tuesday, March 20 is Art Club.

What would make you want to join Art Club?

Should we have an Art Club? Why or why not?

If you were to join it - what would you like to do in Art Club?

Why do students join clubs? Why don't then join clubs?
