    DENVER ALLIED ARTS GUILD

                                                        January 20, 2005      

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

 

             GENERAL MEETING:   -  9:30 a.m. - Augustana Lutheran Church

              5000 E.  Alameda Ave.  Enter through the east door ( south end of

              the bldg.).  

                                               Remember ___      3rd Saturday of the month.

 

             PROGRAM: We will have Mitch Caster, editorial cartoonist for  Channel

                    9. The media pictures of closed hearings, like the Timothy McVeigh

                    trial that was moved to Denver from Oklahoma City, are all done by

                    artists like Mitch. It should be a great demostration - capturing a

                    person's essence in a short period of time.

                   

             NEXT BOARD MEETING:   January 26 - Marion's  9:00 a.m.     NEW TIME

                   

                             NEWSLETTER DEADLINE is the THIRD of each month.

  

             REFRESHMENTS provided by Tony McCrary & Liz O'Connor

                                                          February -- Floy Walberg & Carmen Freeman                            

                                              

             REVIEW: Mike Keefe begins his cartoons with rough sketches. He looks

             for interesting  shapes, placement, and interesting negative spaces

             surrounding his characters. He tries to use action to suggest movement. 

             We had not heard about  the creative process in his 2002 appearance

             as our demonstrator, so this was more frosting on the cake.

 

             CLUB NOTES:

              Eleanor Hargrove fell Dec 28 and fractured a hip.  A pin was put in.

                   She is now at Manor Care getting some therapy. Manor Care is on the

                   corner of Monaco & Alameda. Cards would be appreciated. If you

                   decide to visit, call first to be sure she's not in therapy.

              Twenty-right folks attended the annual Christmas Party - good food

                   and good friendship was enjoyed by all. Thanks to all who helped

                   Marion get ready for the group.

                  Leftover at Marion's: a plastic tray, a pot holder, and a holly pin

                    from someone's coat.        Claim or have someone claim for you.

 

 

            WEB PAGE:     daagonline.com    We want & need a wider representation

                 of our artists on this site.  It would sure help our Exhibition Chair -

                - Eleanor Hargrove as she contacts new venues for our displays. Said

                venues often want slides. If Eleanor can refer them to our web site,  

                slides can be eliminated. While unframed and non-shrink wrapped

                works are preferred, Joyce is going to allow us to bring framed works.

                She still needs a call prior to the meeting at which we bring  our works.
