2022-08-16 Fine Art Photography SIG meeting notes

We met online using ZOOM 6:00pm-8:00pm

The goal of our Fine Art Photography SIG is to help each other to create fine art from our photography.
The Fine Art SIG is a place where artists support each other and nurture creativity in others.
Unrequested criticism can feed an artist's fear of failure and stifle their creative growth.

3 of our Fine Art SIG members attending the meeting tonight live in Fort Collins, 6 live in Windsor, Loveland and Timnath.

OUR MAIN DISCUSSION TOPIC WAS "Create an image using a similar style or technique that was used in one of your favorite images".
We had a good discussion of our current projects and how we were inspired to create them by our favorite images.

We also discussed the Sculpture in the Park event and the Art in the Park event, both are good sources of inspiration.

PICK A TOPIC FOR THE NEXT MEETING
We will be creating Mandalas, inspired by Jeanie's presentation.
Here is a YouTube video of Jeanie's technique: https://youtu.be/FoPWooYbhbU

AGENDA FOR OUR NEXT FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY SIG MEETING - Tue 09/20/2022 @6:00pm
1. The main topic will be "Mandalas", inspired by Jeanie's presentation.

2. We will hold constructive critiques (optional) Pick as many as 3 images that you would like critiqued, and be prepared to show them by sharing your screen during the ZOOM meeting.
3. We will pick a topic for the next meeting

If you don't have time to research the topic, or you don't have any images that you want to have critiqued, that is OK, you can just attend the meeting and participate when you want.

I would like to see more pictures from our Fine Art SIG in the regular club meeting slideshows.

Jim Limburg will send out the Meeting ID, passcode, and meeting link when we have scheduled the meeting, which will be about a week before the meeting date.

Please email Mike, info@fcdcc.com, when you find mistakes, missing information or if you have suggestions for the Fine Art Photography SIG and I will try to address the issues.
