Work!

Happy weekend, friends!

I was going to post a blog post last week, but I should have known that that wasn't going to happen. Last week was add/drop week at SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design), when student can add and drop classes without any financial consequences.

What that means is that it is REALLY busy. We have walk-in hours all day every day during that week when students can see us without appointments.
Student work in one of the buildings - it's huge!
It's also the week when most of the departments have student orientations and faculty meetings, which we try to go to.

I advise all graduate students in Design for Sustainability, Industrial Design, Design Management, Service Design, Creative Business Leadership, Writing and Dramatic Writing (for theater, movies or television).

Altogether, I advise about 450 students. It was so fun to see many of them again after winter break, as well as the professors. Yes, we are busy but for me it is incredibly fulfilling work.

As an added bonus, I get to be around art and creativity all day long and work smack-dab in the middle of historic downtown Savannah (although it's a little dangerous that I work only a block from the main shopping street).

Next week will be a lot calmer and I won't have evening meetings to go to, so hopefully I'll check in a little more often.

I wish you all a beautiful Saturday!

Like Two Kids in a Candy Store...

Once a year, the Savannah College of Art and Design, where Daniel teaches, organizes an Art Material Trade Show, open to the public. For three days, quality vendors set up booths and sell their art materials for 50-80% off retail prices. They are available to answer questions, do demos, and even give away freebies.
Daniel and I were in 7th heaven. He talked to many vendors about their products and using them in his classes, to past and present students and to other professors. I got to meet Mark Golden of Golden Acrylics and buy all kinds of supplies at super low prices. What a day!! Can't wait to use it all tomorrow and paint, paint, paint!

Hope you are all doing well! I'm looking forward to visiting your blogs this weekend.
