Workshops for studio

In case I missed you in the email because I can't count:


I wanted to ask if anyone was interested in leading a particular workshop,
about 30 minutes, for the Issues studio class.
Just let me know which you'd want to do (my email is redblockdrop at gmail),
and if you're available on Fridays in case people had more questions or you
had more info.
If there's any that are not on the list we can add it. Thanks!

COME WITH 3 NAMES

Things people are looking for:

----------------------------
not too serious.
not too silly.
professional.
not strange spellings.
nothing too referential to popular culture, sports, etc.
no explicit material.
not too long.
short and powerful.
try not to put "art" in the title
nothing too obvious
nothing too sophomoric.

-------------------------------

-Look at art shows, and art collectives, things in the art community to get a sense of how professional artists are styling their names.

-Think about the readings. Is there a common thread?

-Explain why you chose the name/ what the strengths of the name are.

-Post your three on the blog. No bullets, no Styling, capitalized as you see fit.
