Awesome!

I'm thinkin' we'll officially start Monday, and we'll have a soft deadline of sunday nights (I'll start a new thread for each week every sunday night).

@SketchyArtish had a link to a discord channel we can use for chatting in the 'Discord for the arts'. If I decide to set up my own with voice channels I'll post a link later on

@Braden-Hallett great idea. This will help me keep myself accountable too

Click here to join the Discord for the Arts

There is a quick registration form they use to filter out trolls or spammers. Once you've done that you can access the entire server. Just mention that you're from SVS and you should get right in. There is a voice chat in there if we want to use that. We're doing today's portion of the 100 Head Challenge in the voice channel right now.

What a great idea! I am finishing Mastering Perspective right now and after that I was planning to take the Creative Environment class, so this is the perfect timing! I am totally in and thank you all for this opportunity! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth:

@SketchyArtish I still don't understand what discord is about tho I did ask to join discord for the arts Will we chat live together there? Will we set times for that? I am a confused middle age woman right now trying to register on a gaming site lol

@Coley Discord is kinda like Skype, except better, fast, newer, shinier, etc. It's just a really awesome chat room program. So, yes. Live chat.

You can use it to chat via text, or voice chat. It keeps everyone involved together and organized so everyone knows where to go to chat. Chat chat chat. Gosh I'm saying chat a lot.

Though we COULD chat back and forth on these forums, it would quickly get a tad untenable. It's easier to post pics and maybe feedback on the forums and use discord for the informal stuff.

That being said, we'll see!

Coley

@Braden-Hallett ok , it's an expiriment fun stuff. We'll see how it goes. I am not very techie so we will see if I can figure it out ha ha

JerrySketchyArt

@Coley I see that you've joined the server. That's step 1 down!

Next, you will want to click on the channel called "directory" on the left. Take that application info and paste it into "the-pond". Just fill the info in to the best of your ability. I'll try to make sure everyone gets approved.

To upload an image you can simply drag it from your desktop into the chat section, or click the + button on the left side of the chat.

Okay I joined up -just included my 2018 digital collection for the three images no problem. Waiting for approval and next steps, thanks.

I also joined Discord, it was not that easy...

demotlj

I just joined Discord too. I don't know how much I'll be able to participate in the chat room but I'm willing to give it a shot ... and besides, now I can feel like a cool Mom, hanging out with the gamers

JerrySketchyArt

@Heather-Boyd For some reason I don't see your post in there. I do see you joined the server, but no post in "the-pond". We've gotten Brandon, Christina, Michaela, and Laurie in so far.

JerrySketchyArt

And a technical tip for everyone new to Discord: you can mute a channel my pressing the little bell icon on the top right. That way it won't make a sound every time someone posts. It can get annoying when someone gets chatty late at night (of course, you can also just close it).

ArtofAleksey

Ok I signed up to discord too.

@Braden-Hallett

@SketchyArtish I manage to log in to Discord. But it seems that my account is not verified, because I could not see any conversation or member list.

ArtofAleksey

I gotta say, I started rewatching some of the early videos again of this (ive watched it before) and It’s so helpful rewatching this cause it’s sticking better.

JerrySketchyArt

@xin-li You will need to apply in the channel called "the-pond". Once you fill in that information the moderators will approve you to see the rest of the chat channels. The questions you will need to answer are in at the top of the "directory" channel.

Heather Boyd

@SketchyArtish I applied elsewhere, I will reapply in the pond. I think that will clear things up. I sent info to MEE6 bot lols.
