Preview story (published previously)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palette Society will be set up in the Memorial Union from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday, selling caricatures and hand-painted Valentine\u2019s Day cards. The sale is essential to their fundraising effort, and each purchase at the event will greatly support this new club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a brand new club, so we didn\u2019t get any allocations. All of the money we have managed to raise has been by ourselves,\u201d said Club President Ava Williams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palette Society was established last semester when Diana Unrein, this year’s emergency-hire Painting Professor, saw an opportunity to start something specifically for fine art students. Since the start-up up she\u2019s strived to cultivate student involvement and culture within the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDiana [recognized] all these other groups have clubs, but there is no painting club,\u201d Williams said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, Unrein, Williams, and Club Vice President Maddy Bourne have worked hard to come up with ideas for events, fundraise to take trips, experience art, and bring in outside artists, growing the club into what it is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDiana has been fantastic and very involved,\u201d Williams said. \u201cTogether we\u2019ve built this club from the ground up and plan to continue it for next year in hopes that whoever is brought in as our next Painting Professor is willing to work with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In preparation for their sales event, the club met to practice caricature drawing and create hand-painted cards. They enjoyed pizza and Valentine\u2019s treats to kick off the evening of hard work and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary Greenwood, an Art and Design Student, led the group through a workshop to sharpen their drawing skills in caricature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is a spectrum of caricature art from super simplified to hyper realistic,\u201d Greenwood said. \u201cMy style is kind of a mixture, which is what I trained everyone to do because it\u2019s the perfect middle ground for selling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greenwood started learning caricatures after a lesson in Digital Illustration and has always loved drawing portraits. She’s enjoyed looking on Pinterest and online and having fun developing her skills in this art style. She led the students through examining eye and nose shapes, sizing facial features, and hair styles to capture a fun, well-executed drawing style, producing finished caricatures of their subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur members have been doing great during our workshop today and I’m super excited for everyone to come get a caricature on Thursday,\u201d Greenwood said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event is an opportunity for couples, groups of friends, or individuals to get a unique keepsake for this Valentine\u2019s Day, or pick up thoughtfully made cards to give to their loved ones. Palette Society can\u2019t wait to share their art with anyone who stops by while raising funds to keep the club going and open up exciting opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
