Erik Blomgren Brest Gallery Opening I have done these assignments before and they generally never come naturally to me. I find that I am not a terribly sociable person by any stretch of the word, so this kind of skill is something that I have to practice and really push myself to work on. That said, it …

Chris Smith Networking Assignment 1:
I started this networking opportunity by discussing different aspects of the installations with the people around me but I found myself striving for incite from the source. Understanding the artists’ vision quickly became my number one priority. When talking with Jason Lee about his installation “Mad Garden” I found why I was so drawn to …
Networking Assignment I – Holden Hackney
To prepare for this networking activity, I ran through mental checklists in my head of what I wanted to accomplish. I’ve been to art galleries in the past but I’ve never approached them the same as how I planned to approach this one. The checklist I made in my head was fairly simple. My goals …
Galleries Give Gratification.
Alexander Brest Gallery opening! Featuring Dylan Collins and Jason Lee, Boss Combo. Tonight I spoke with five people in regards to art, their day to day life, and the fine arts program.

Networking Assignment 1 Emily Pate When we first discussed “triangulation” in class, I had no idea what it was, nor had I ever heard the term. After it was explained, however, it made total sense. We do this all the time and in everyday conversation. I don’t have much experience discussing art, so that was …
Drew Mowatt Art Gallery 1
Art opening at the Alexander Brest Gallery I went into this assignment with the intense desire to start drinking wine as soon as physically possible as it was another long day practicing on my instrument. Grant Oliver and I had got to the classroom building located at Nelms at approximately 4:30pm. Not to our …
Marissa – Networking Assignment I
For the art opening on January 10th, I didn’t do very much to prepare in advance for networking. There was really only one thing that I was mindful of when getting ready, which was to make sure I had a purse or pockets to hold my belongings so that I had free hands to shake. …
Landon Networking I
Last week we (the class) participated in a triangulation exercise during an art exposition at the campus of Jacksonville University. The goal was to use art as a gateway to a conversation with an individual, or group and practice networking. I met a freshman art history major named, Iris. She is from China, and I forgot her …
