- Our next SchmoozeFest is coming up very shortly on Thursday, May 11, at the Art Center at Night, South Campus, 950 South Raymond, Pasadena, CA. We will be convening in Room #231 from 6:30 to 9:30 PM. Be ready to share your stories of your accomplishments and listen to the offerings of the other attendees, and follow with an opportunity to schmooze and network with other creative people. SchmoozeFests are always fun and you never know what can happen when talented people come together and exchange ideas.

- And while we are on the subject, our Crafting a Meaningful Career- Part One- Discovering the Dream begins on Tuesday, May 17. This course is like no other you have experienced as we do a deep dive into what you like about work, and what you don’t like, and then create options for you that are both rational and energizing. As George Eliot said, “It’s never too late to be who you might have been.” Learn what it will take for you the write the next chapters of your life under your own terms…

This important and informative class, “…introduces the elements and organizing principles involved in designing form and space.”…

- We are proud to announce that Jennie Warren’s photographic work is featured in a new book titled, “Custom Bike Life.” The book is published by teNeues and is “A must-have for every motorcycle fan. A book about the power and beauty of custom-built machines. A visual tour of a tradition that traces its roots back to the 1960s, when people yearning for freedom felt the need to take things into their own hands.” We are all proud of you Jennie and wish you continued success…

- Academic Keys, Andrea McCarthy, sent a long list of positions open for educators in the arts worldwide and this blog is passing along ten of the many offerings listed together with links to find out more…

Editor’s Note: It is with profound sadness that I have to inform you of the passing of our good friend and colleague, Soren Petersen. Soren will be remembered for his enthusiasm, intelligence, and wit, and for his spirited presentations of his complex analytics at our SchmoozeFests. He inspired all who were honored to know him and I for one will miss our robust brainstorming conversations over coffee. The following is a copy of an email his wife, Maryisa, sent informing of the memorial scheduled in celebration of his life. Please join us to remember this wonderful man who brought us much joy and encouraged us to achieve the best we have to offer.

- "In Memoriam- Soren Petersen

As a tribute to Soren and to all those who loved him...

There will be a memorial service held at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Ca, on Saturday, May 13th, at 12N in the Sculpture Garden.

Please let other friends and colleagues know of the scheduled memorial who might wish to attend as I may not have all contacts.

Love,"

Class begins on May 18 at South Campus. I’ve attached an e-flyer.

An introduction to aesthetic theory, Introduction to 3D Design introduces the elements and organizing principles involved in designing form and space.
The course includes lecture, discussion, research and design assignments that help increase awareness, improve creative problem-solving ability, refine the design process, and increase technical ability.

The course is the basis for all 3-dimensional design disciplines, including interior design, architecture, packaging, transportation, environmental, fashion, industrial, stage and set design, sculpture, accessories, and furniture.
Project assignments are oriented toward understanding and applying design principles.
To enroll, look for course #ACN-089, Introduction to 3D Design, on the ACN website: https://www.artcenter.edu/acn/coursedescriptions.jsp
