Students have recently formed a Society of Illustrators Student Chapter here at AIB. If you are a AIB and are interested in getting involved email Elize Mckelvey. Below is a short overview from their last meeting, Feb. 22th.
What we went over, February 22nd meeting.
Apart from the awesome movie showing of Mirror-mask and the free popcorn, cookies and drinks, we talked about a few other things. Here is what you missed.
FEILD TRIPS
March 18th - We will be going to NYC to visit the Society of Illustrators museum among various other things.
PLEASE NOTE: for this trip we need,
- An RSVP by friday, March 4th
- A 5 dollar "good faith" deposit, just so we know that you for sure want to go.
- Everybody in Susan's Junior studio class that friday of the trip is excused for this trip.
- Buses for this will leave around 7 am, 700 beacon. scheduled to leave MoMA around 6.
We also talked more about the Norman Rockwell trip.
- Thinking about April the 9th to visit that museum, will discuss more at later date.
- 1 to 4 pm on that day is a illustration plus publishing children's books work shop that would cost an extra 15 dollars.
- If you want to go on that trip but not see the work shop we will also be doing something like lunch etc durning that time.
NON-PROFITS
Did you know that working outside of school with places such as non-profits (doing things for them with your art like posters, designs etc) can give you College credits and count toward an internship?
This is a great way to learn valuable lessons in self motivation and self promotion while working with outside people.

In this meeting we encourage you to share things that you are interesting in. Such as;
