Elements art class; any interest?

[pepokish]

I just wanted to say a late thank you for all of the responses to my question!  c:  I can't wait to get started, and from what I hear, we should have this thing up and running very soon!

Also, I wanted to reiterate that traditional media (pencil and paper) is absolutely fine by me!  I'm familiar with traditional art, so it's no problem for me.  Just make sure you get a nice clean scan or digital photo.  c:

Thanks again, guys!  <3

I'm interested. I could use some practice (especially with hands).
I usually use MSPaint- main problem I have with it is that it's so large o_o (and the new way they did the grid >.<)

I'd be more than interested!!

Sorry if I'm lost, but when is it again?

Sorry for the late reply, Anon.  (:  Hopefully soon.  I'm not entirely clear on everything yet, but some answer is better than nothing...  From what I hear, vrt needs to get everything set up with the council, then we can begin.

And so we have to keep no checking this page when it starts the council?

I'm interested. The way i see it, no software is an impediment to learn color/shape theory, so i'll do what i can with the tools i have. I'm looking forward for this to begin
And if i can be of any help, i'm just a PM away.

Well, pretty much everyone is interested in it.

Well, once the council approves everything, we will be able to get started -- but you won't have to check this thread for that.  Don't worry, you'll definitely know when the class is ready.

Wonderful!  It's always nice to know that help is available if needed.  (:
By the way, I've been wanting to tell you... your avatar kicks ass.

For the record: 'Talent' in art is a load of bullshit. With patience and dedication, you can learn the skills to do anything - it's like playing the guitar; anyone can learn to do it. 'Talent' is how easily you'll understand and apply it, not whether or not you'll be able to grasp it in the first place.

I agree with this guy. With dedication anyone can learn decent drawing skills.

Anyway I've been reading through the thread here, I'd love to be involved. Always happy to give artistic/creative advice.

Btw I notice a lot of people mention they have no access to a decent graphics program, here's a few browser based utilities you may want to check out:

Deviantart Muro - I've seen some people make some professional quality work with this tool.

A list of free Photoshop alternatives will be compiled before classes start, don't worry.

Hawanja, I'd love to see you tag along.
