The group aims to bring people together every week where a comfortable space is provided to create art. Every week, we meet on Wednesdays in various dorm MPRs where people can come and draw whatever they like. We provide food and music to elevate the comfortability of the space. So far, attendance has been really great and we hope to expand the group once we receive a formal budget and incorporate other mediums such as clay and even clothing design that goes beyond just drawing.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3029\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-postid=\"fsg_post_3012\" data-imgid=\"3029\" href=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2016\/11\/unnamed-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3029\" class=\"wp-image-3029 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2016\/11\/unnamed-2-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"unnamed-2\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2016\/11\/unnamed-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/creativearts\/files\/2016\/11\/unnamed-2-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3029\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hope Challenger Watercolor and pen<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Recently, a project we took up was painting the Jewett picnic table. It was a great experience to see so many people put their own mark on something that hopefully will remain on campus for a while. We hope to have more displays like these where people&#8217;s art can be shown for the whole campus and the community beyond to see. \u00a0Follow @vassart_official to see people&#8217;s creations so far. I know my fellow co-runners of the org and I are very excited to see where the org goes over the next couple months.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s so important that the arts are appreciated and celebrated. I&#8217;m hoping this org can preserve people&#8217;s desire to create art \u00a0and uphold a safe space where people can express themselves. I&#8217;m so excited to see the ways VassArt can make positive contributions to this campus and hopefully collaborate with CAAD in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Field Work Post by Adam Senack Since beginning my work at CAAD this semester, I have developed a deeper appreciation for the arts.
