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

get psyched for Hatch! at Stein club Thursday!
There will be some collaborative art pieces at Stein Club on Thursday, so if you want to contribute to Hatch, but don't have time to submit work on your own, please stop by, have a beer and get creative!
Portrait Wall: (remember your pre-school shadow portrait? well, same idea except Kirkland is making it awesome with a giant canvas, paint and numerous subjects...you!) Come ready to get drawn or trace someone else.
Bricks: What do the Kirkland House bricks see and hear that we don't? What stories would they tell? In the spirit of postsecret , Kirkland will be accepting 'bricks' that tell our own secret Kirkland narrative. You can pick up a blank 'brick' any time in the dining hall.(starting on sunday night). Please paint or color or fill in (photos, pen, coffee stain, whatever) the brick side, and write your secret Kirkland story on the back. The idea is that by allowing anonymous Kirkland narratives, we might see a different perspective of Kirkland life than the dining hall narrative we are so used to.
When you finish, return the brick to the 'brick box' in the d-hall. You will also be able to do this at Stein Club on Thursday.

cool art installation
'As you have hopefully noticed, someone has been building something in front of Matthews Hall over the past several days. That was us - Native Americans at Harvard college and our friends from the Aquinnah Wampanoag Nation. We have been hard at work building a wetu (pronounced "we - two"), a traditional home of the Wampanoag people.'
Native Americans at Harvard College would like to cordially invite you to attend our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the Harvard Yard Wetu Tomorrow, Thursday, April 22, 2010 at 3:30PM.
