Artbridge Art Hacking Tuesdays meets 7-8PM to collaborate on art projects, conveniently before the Noisebridge Meeting when installation art can be proposed.

Learning to make art

Artbridge mentoring tutorials will cover how to make 2D and 3D art in a number of programs you can install beforehand and try:

Decorating Noisebridge

Proposing Art Excellently

These are some suggestions on ways to do art both doocratically and with consultation, notification and excellence.

  • If you have an idea for excellent art, share your idea with others.
  • Put together a description and concept art and post it here under proposed art projects.
  • Post a link to Noisebridge-discuss
  • Share it on the #general and #artbridge slack channels and #noisebridge@freenode.
  • Show it to random people and solicit feedback
  • Show others who may want to help make your art or do more art inspired by what you're doing

Mobile Art

If your art is non-permanently installable (hung from a wall rather than painted directly on it), great!

  • you can put it up with some consultation for feedback in a place that seems excellent.

Installation Art

If your art is permanently altering the space (painted on a wall for example), discuss!

  • Post your idea proposal to the mailing list so people have time to understand what you want to do.
  • Do people like the idea? Get opinions on the best place to install the art.
  • What things will happen in the location? (Will shelves be moved that could cover your art up?)
  • Can art inspire people doing activities at a location? (Tesla overlooks numerous oscilloscopes.)
  • Does it need to be a mural or could you hang it for increased longevity when the space is rearranged?
  • In the event that paint needs to be removed, Goof-off spray], a few minutes to soften up and a metal spatula can scrape off most kinds of canned paint.
