What kind of music encourages you to make art?

Music, audible art, is a powerful motivator for bodily actions. (Think painting, drawing, exercising, performing...) What do you listen to when creating?

Do you feel the UAS Art Department could benefit from a student art blog? Why?

Please comment with your answer! 

Jane Terzis,  Chair of the Department of Arts and Humanities, and Associate Professor of Art at UAS, responds: This artblog would be the first of its kind for UAS Art students. It's already a user-friendly site with hot links to exhibition information, art opportunities, BA in Art degree requirements and student artwork. This could develop into a forum, showcase, information on artists living in the real world and a chat room for UAS art students in Southeast Alaska, expanding out to the rest of the state and beyond. Great idea and the timing is perfect.

Getting that Piece of Paper

Art students can tend to be “free spirits” at times.  In order to help organize your class schedule, we added the link to the B.A. Art Degree requirements for UAS.  If you haven’t signed up for Spring Semester, get on it.  This link might help you figure out what to take next.  Also on your UA Online you can get a fast degree audit to tell you where you’re at in your requirements.
