Getting started - the first steps ...
Preparing for the First Meeting with Prep for Art; the Intake
For the first meeting, we ask our students to be prepared to talk about and/or show images of any and all of work, no matter how “finished”, or what stage it is in, and what medium. This can be work from class assignments as well as work that is self initiated / generated. This can be completed works, partially completed works, ideas in a sketchbook, doodles on pieces of paper, collages, sewing projects, outlines of a project, a curated zone in a bedroom, story boarding, projects using unconventional material, entrepreneurial projects, etc.
Students should feel free to include projects “in the world”, already initiated, or in the planning phases - and this doesn't have to be what is considered “art”, but can include any and all interests -- this could be a lecture series project, an environmental cleanup event, a voting registration project, even baking and cooking, etc.
Images don’t have to be perfect or professional - cell phone pics will do — the point is to take an inventory of everything, so casual imperfect images are fine for this first meeting. If in doubt...include it!
