Last nights meeting had 25 attendees!! Very spirited meeting!!! Lots of ideas and energy. Note to selves - read 'Roberts Rules of Order' OR 'Lord of the Flies' before next meeting!!
MEETINGS!!!
Art club meetings are Mondays from 3:30 - 7:30 for working on the Halloween carnival booth background. And Tuesday from 3:30 - 5 ish. Mrs. Wheeler is in the art room until 4:30 or so every day, so work can be done then also.
ELECTIONS!!!
Ballots for officer elections are in the art room. Members from last year, or new members who worked on the float may vote. So come by and vote!!!
Winners will be announced on Monday Oct. 1, 2007 at the meeting. Good luck to all!
T-SHIRT DESIGN!!!
We also are designing a t-shirt for the Art Club. The 'blank' is in the art room. It must say 'Discover Your Inner Artist' and 2007-2008 or '07 - '08 on it somewhere. Be creative, but we're keeping the cost below $15.00.
Deadline for designs is Monday at 3:30. We'll be voting for our design at the meeting on Monday. (First time attendees can't vote, sorry!!)
FUNDRAISER!!!
New fundraiser catalogs were also handed out. Lots of great stuff in there! Hit the teachers early! Especially Mrs. Franco, because she LOVES frogs! Also, try to get your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. to take it to work - they can really help us by doing that. This money will help pay for the club costs through the year and for t-shirts, letter jackets, art trips, etc. If you intend to participate in these things, sell your 'fair share' which is 12 items. The prizes are things you can pick out of the catalog, so remember - Christmas is right around the corner - 8 weeks!!!
Next meeting is Monday Oct. 1, 2007. VERY IMPORTANT MEETING!!!

Biography for Speaker: Antonio Martorell
Antonio Martorell is a well known Puerto Rican painter, graphic artist, writer, and radio as well as television personality born on April 18, 1939 in Santurce, Puerto Rico. Educated in graphic design, printmaking, and performance, Martorell uses an alchemic mix of these traditions in his work. For nearly forty years, he has consistently extended his artistic and literary repertoire, and has become a multifaceted, admired artist.
Martorell studied Diplomacy in Washington, DC and traveled to Madrid, Spain to study Painting with Julio MartÃn Caro. After his return to Puerto Rico he started working in the "Puerto Rican Cultural Institute," which provides quality arts and culture for the community. As a writer, Martorell has written books such as La Piel de la Memoria (The Skin of Memory) and El Libro Dibujado (The Drawn Book).
He was the winner of the "Bienal de Arte de San Juan", which rewards innovative Puerto Rican or Latin American artists each year and he has also distinguished himself by illustrating the books of several authors including Alma Rosa Flor, Heraclio Cepeda and Pura Belpré.
Currently, he is the Resident Artist of the University of Cayey, in Puerto Rico, and he directs the Ramon Frade Museum at the same institution. He writes a column for Escenario, a section of the renowned Puerto Rican newspaper El Vocero, he owns a workshop in Ponce, Puerto Rico and another one in New York. Furthermore, he is the father of a famous dancer Alejandra Martorell and a proud grandfather.

Here's one of Mr. Martorell's work that I like - Google him - he does 'protest' art - always good to use your art to make a statement about something you believe in!
