We will be painting on two 6yd. by 53" canvas.
One theme will be: "What does Augsburg Mean to me?"
The other will be a calibration to make a larger piece.

We will be bringing back the clay stomp, for you all to stomp around in the clay.

The hodge-podge sculpture will depend on all of you. Here we are having students bring odds and ends that will need to be approved by the Art Club, then the material will be put together to make a hodge-podge sculpture. Adhesives will also be something you will need to bring, as the sculpture will need to be held together.
