Welcome to the
AIB Foundation Blog!
This blog is focused on the Freshman experience during their Foundation year at AIB, life in and outside of school. New content will be added daily. We encourage student participation, content submissions, and any other suggestions that you may have to help make the blog better.
We hope the blog becomes a place to build the AIB community and a source for all things creative during your AIB experience.About the AIB
Foundation Program
During your "foundation year," you learn and become proficient in the basics—from a professional artist's perspective. That means, for example, you don't only practice (and practice) drawing the world around you, you learn how to think about what you experience and observe, about how artists' perceptions of the world have influenced your own perceptions. The Foundation Year gives you invaluable perspective on what it means to be an artist. You will explore and expand your ways of seeing, drawing, and designing.

Paper Writing Simplified
Cate, your Personal Librarian here, writing to let you know that I am here to help you with your final papers.
Over at the AIB Library Facebook page I'm posting daily tips and suggestions for where you can find the books, articles, and images for your projects. It's mostly general strategies and resources, BUT if you comment here or on the page with your actual assignments I will find resources specifically for you and post them. Just let me know what you're looking for.
And remember, you can get help any time by contacting Ask a Librarian!
3-D Illustration Exhibit: Red Nose Studio
The new exhibit at 700 Beacon Street is a collection of photographs, sculpture, and video by Chris Sickels of Red Nose Studio. Sickels creates three-dimensional sculptures and then photographs and films them to create remarkable works of art. This is a uniquie opportunity to see both the finished "3-D illustrations" and the sculptures used to create them.
The opening reception followed by an artist talk with Sickels is scheduled for 5pm this Thursday, November 10th.
The AIB library has two books illustraed by Sickels and many other resources on this emerging medium. For more information, check out the 3D Illustration Research Guide at the AIB Library.
