MADA is having an event at the National Gallery and we need 30 students to join. You will choose a painting (preferrably from one of the rooms stated in the link, but if there is a particular painting that moves you from the gallery's collection, it's fine as well. You will then interpret it digitally and at 4pm, you will introduce your work and it will be screened in the 'Creative Space' Education room. All the works will be collated into a Show DVD which will be submitted to the gallery. They are interested in having a separate viewing of this at a later date. If you are interested, please sign up. Further details can be found on the link above.

 * NOTES:**


 * **Images will be provided by the gallery on monday or tuesday (20 and 21st)**. The gallery is expecting us to be manipulating the images live. Since digital art does need a lot of prep time, I would suggest that everyone find the images online and use those if you would like to create something beforehand.


 * ** Gallery stools for Digital arts students ** 30 stools to be available from 10am which can be collected from the Orange Street entrance (the Education Centre entrance, to the rear of the Gallery). The trolley of stools will be up the stairs (on the same level as the paintings) outside the ‘Learning Gallery’/’Creative Space’ Education rooms. The students are welcome to use the stools in the Gallery and in the ‘Creative Space’ afterwards – please replace them on the trolley outside ‘Creative Space’ at the end of the day.


 * **Digital Arts seminar – technical support** Jon Sheldon, AV technician, will meet the students at 3:45 pm sharp at ‘Creative Space' for the set-up. The screening begins at 4. Please bring your work on memory sticks by that time.


 * We will not be permitted to video or photograph anything within the gallery, but we can download the images and manipulate them. **If you write the name of your painting by Saturday, 11 Oct 08, I'll send them to the gallery so they can provide the jpegs for us to use.**


 * The event will be documented by the gallery staff.


 * You can do anything you want with the painting, it can be rough and raw. It's entirely up to you and this will not be assessed.


 * The gallery is interested in screening our work separately on a different date. All the works will be collated unto a show DVD and will be submitted to them.


 * Each artist will introduce their work (1 minute) and what they were thinking when they created it. Each work should be no more than 2 minutes.


 * Artists can choose from the paintings listed below, or if moved by another particular painting within the gallery's collection, it is also all right:

Room 52 Italy 1250 -1350 Room 53 Italy 1350 - 1400 Room 54 Tuscany 1400 - 1450 Room 55 Italy 1400 - 1460 Room 19 Poussin Room 20 Claude


 * The projector for the screening will be provided by the gallery. Please save your work unto a memory stick which will then be loaded unto their CPU at 3.30 for screening. **Also, please write the details of the format you will use above, so that we can make sure that they will be able to play it.**


 * You can find the event through these links:

 * No plugging in of laptops. Since it will take too long to pat test all our equipment it was suggested that we work on batteries. We will be provided with stools so we can work in front of the paintings of our choosing. If your battery runs out, I (Katrin) will charge them at the UAL Davies Street site.


 * There will also be a talk at 1-1:45 at the Lecture Hall, Sainsbury wing, which we are invited to attend. They are hoping we can ask some good questions;).

Opposing Forces - Line and Paper: A Conversation on Drawing with Paula Rego Paula Rego and Colin Wiggins, Theatre Artist Paula Rego has a long-standing relationship with the National Gallery. From 1989 to 1990 she was the Gallery’s first Associate Artist, making drawings and paintings in response to the Collection. Drawing is central to Paula Rego’s work, as a means of discovery, observation and invention.


 * Please invite family and friends.


 * Have fun;).
