Sophomore Exquisites

Dearest Kirkland Sophomores,

The Kirkland Art Lounge would like to invite you to participate in the first Kirkland art event of the year, Sophomore Exquisites!

To acquaint you with your fellow Kirklanders' awesome creative talent, and provide you with a lovely piece of wall art for your new room, please do the following...

1. pick up a large sheet of paper from the dining hall (table near the meeting room)
2. in the top right corner write down your room number as well as all your roommates names
3. turn paper over
4. using any sort of medium you would like (pens, paint, markers, pencil etc.) draw or write some things on the front of the paper. this can be anything you want, you can choose a theme, or just start drawing whatever...be creative
5. You don't have to fill the paper too much, leave a little white space
6. Find another room in Kirkland whose inhabitants you do not already know
7. carefully roll up your paper and stick it in the door.
8. knock loudly
9. run away

Kirklanders: when you find these Sophomore Exquisites, please allow all of your roommates to add to the drawing before you repeat steps 4-9 until you see that you are the 5th room to participate, in which case you will return the Sophomore Exquisites to the sophomores in the beginning room #1.

Sophomores: when you receive the finished piece of art, please take it to Kate in the office, who will scan it and then we can put it on this blog to share with everyone.

I would also recommend hanging it up in your common room (with the special tacky stuff Scott has in the office, please) and inviting everyone who worked on it to a little room party*

*I do not endorse crazy room parties, just nice little art parties ;)

Tuesday, September 7 Sophomore Exquisites starts with room #1
Sunday, September 12: SE ends with room #5
