List of Art-Related Events to Consider

 LC Art Students,


Here are some art-related events that occur around Lynchburg.
This is by no means every art-related event that goes on throughout the year, and
keep in mind that I will continue to post more events, maps, personal notes, museums, galleries, and art supplies stores as I find more.


Do keep in mind that LC holds art-related events in the Daura Gallery, through lectures, and in programs such as, "Get DownTown".


I have tried to include as much information on the following events as possible.

Presentation of the Pamphlet

Hey LC Art Students!

As mentioned in one of the earlier posts, this blog is the electronic version of the "The Essential Student Artist's 'Supplies Locator, Guide, and Review' Pocket-sized  pamphlet.

I wanted to show what the presentation of the physical pamphlet looks like, so you will have an idea of the scale size of the pamphlet (notice it is inside of ajean pocket, and at that, a size  zero women's jean pocket!).

Remember Designers: presentation is important!

A Personal Note: Tools & Epoxy

Although tools are not mentioned under the recommended supplies list for Design I & II, I found that tools were very helpful in making most of my sculptures.

True Value is a  very reliable place to buy hardware and tools.
The tools that I found most helpful were...
                            Box-cutter
                            Hammer & Nails
                            Needle-Nose Pliers

Also, epoxy and glue are very important for this class...for holding together sculptures and mixed media to your 2D works, as well!
 The glue that was the most reliable, for me, was Epoxy 3000 (found at WalMart).
I also found rubber cement very helpful for gluing paper to other paper/canvas.
