MAY CONTEST: MERMAY!
-
@LisaF That would be awesome to have more live seassons, but offline videos are also cool
-
@LisaF I love the idea of these live events I just wish it wasn't in the middle of the day (which can't be helped for everyone understandably as SVS is available worldwide). Between short lunch breaks, appointments, and life in general maybe a late afternoon/early evening time works for more students? Wasn't the 3rd Thursday timeslot around 2pm CT?

@LisaF I would only be interested if its the 3rd Thursday of the month. You know us old school SVS'ers don't like change LOL. JK that would be great.
@Jon-Anderson the 3rd Thursdays started in the evening like around 9pm. I believe near the end they moved it to the afternoons.
-
@LisaF love the video crit format. Totally understood all the technical glitches. Thank you so much for deciding to post the videos for subscribers - It will be rare I can catch any of the live events, since I have a toddler home. Already getting excited for the next session.
-
@LisaF thanks for the update! Would definitely be interested for guys to give more critiques - via contest or otherwise.

@Chip-Valecek
Apparently the management doesn't like change either because this is basically gonna be just like the OG Third Thursdays!:face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

@LisaF Thursday live crits would be awesome!
-
@LisaF I would absolutely love Thursday critiques! Although the critiques for the winners of Mermay were very informative and I enjoyed watching it, I was a bit disappointed that they didn't critique everyone's pieces. I know that would be a lot of work, but that direct critique was SO helpful for me in April that I was really hoping for another critique this time, too.
So yes, if there is a way to get more personal critiques going, I am all for that!! Especially if there's a video of them posted later. Excellent idea! Thanks so much!
-
Would love to see the old third thursdays back too! I am happy to know that the video will be in the sub area later I missed it as well but I did get an email and it had a link but I was busy and was able to view.
-
@Lee-White im curious did the mixups with the email system also affect you choosing which pieces to consider because I think you mentioned only subscribers submissions would count? Or am I mistaken.

@LisaF thanks, it’s good the Critiques are going to be able to view for all of us, those of us that participate, put a lot of of work into these prompts, and the feedback is very important to all of the artists that contributed to the Svs Learn Mermay. That’s why we participated, for the feedback. And of course, living all around the world we can’t be at your same place at your time. What I like about Svs Learn is the accessibility, I can see what I want to see when I want to see it, that’s your strength. I think this live thing is fine but not backing it up with a recorded version is moving away from what makes svslearn valuable.
-
@Aleksey I’m thinking the judges judged the work based on what was posted on the Mermay contest, that’s my guess.
-
Thank you for posting the video soon. I didn't receive an e-mail, so I missed out. Looking forward to the recording.
-
@Aleksey Hi! All the contest entries were reviewed first without regard to subscriber status, the ones that were selected actually all turned out to be subscribers. A couple of the winning entrants did not get emails either
There were so many great images, it was so hard to choose! Hope that helps clarify!Director of Sunshine and Rainbows

@animatosoor I love this--the style is unique and I love the mermaids marching into town. Your colors are stunning also.
