[UC-ODDMUSIC] Fwd: Summer Art School in CU! Register Now!

[Jacob Barton]

Hello Oddmusies,

A bouquet of exciting radical arts classes this summer is brought to you by
the Channing-Murray Foundation! The most oddmusical of these is Udderbot
Marching Choir, led by myself and Eva Martone.

Come to Channing-Murray (1209 W. Oregon on the Urbana side of campus) next
Thursday at 4PM to make udderbots with us! Then the real fun begins...

If you bring your own bottle, we can help you cut off the bottom. It's also
good to bring a rubber glove that fits your bottle. (We will also have
bottles and gloves available.)

Read below for more details!

week, we'll take on a different artistic medium. Artwork produced in the
classroom will be exhibited at in a local gallery show at the end of the
summer session.

 Art and Interdependence
Instructor: Austin McCann
Everything is connected, but how? And how can we share the news? In this
class, students will read, discuss, and create artworks exploring
interdependence in our world. Art is uniquely situated for this task, and
artists have the capacity to help build a more desirable world through
these explorations. Artwork produced in the classroom will be exhibited in
site-specific locations at the end of the summer session.
Thursdays at 2pm Cost: $40/registrant


Udderbot Marching Choir

Instructors: Jacob Barton and Eva Martone

The udderbot is a do-it-yourself musical instrument made of a glass bottle,
a rubber glove, and water. In this course, we will make and decorate our
own udderbots, and then we will form a new kind of ensemble with
all-original music and movement. We will learn to play everything from
harmonious sounds to a cacophonous chaos. We will work together to make
pieces that are both entertaining and provoking, for us and our audience
alike. We welcome people with all levels of musical experience, including
no experience at all! Thursdays at 4pm | Cost: $40/registrant (Limited to 4
weeks)




Strategic Artistry for Artists and Activists

Instructor: Elizabeth Simpson

We've got passion, we've got ideas... but sometimes that awesome project
just doesn't start or doesn't finish, for good reason or no reason. This
tailored workshop will offer tools and tactics for keeping our awesome
alive by planning and implementing DIY and DIO projects of all kinds, big
and small. Especially for folks with compromised schedules, chronic
procrastinators, burnouts, and those who just don't know where to begin or
how to finish. Fridays at 2pm Cost: $40/registrant
