Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2009

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) for NTU Visual Arts Society was held on 2nd September 2009, Wednesday, at LT4, North Spine, 8:00pm.

The 23rd Committee gave a coverage of the past academic year's achievements, including the VAS-organized event for Arts Fiesta 2009. Past members spoke on milestones - successes and technical difficulties alike - during their course of the journey since August 2008.

Newly-elected and selected members for the main committee were also present to give presentations on their position portfolios, to allow VAS members to vote for the new main committee members. After the results were released, the 24th Committee became finalized and assembled, the old main committee then passed down the torch to the newer committee members to continue the life of VAS.

We do hope that the new team could accomplish just as well, if not better than, the previous committee in organizing events for Visual Arts Society, as well as spread the love for the visual art medium - animation, comics and graphic design alike.

KALEIDOSCOPE 2008

In its 2nd year running, Kaleidoscope is an event jointly organised by Collateral Damage Studios and NUS Comics and Animation Society that showcases digital artwork from local and regional talent, and all aspiring artists are welcome to send in their submissions.

This year the event is expanding beyond just Anime-based artwork, and encompassing digital art of all forms. While the last Kaleidoscope was held at Suntec, this year it will be held at Funan the IT Mall from 1-2Nov 2008, 11am-9pm on both days.

The NTU Visual Arts Society remains a firm supporter of this event. If you are interested in sending in your artwork for display, the NTUVAS is helping to collect submissions from the NTU student population. It doesn’t matter if the artwork involved is 3D modeling, 2D art, or not even digital at all, you can send in your submissions to ntucomicsensemble@yahoo.com.sg by the deadline of 14/10/2008, and we’ll help you showcase it during the two day event.

The Organisers have outlined a few guidelines that submissions must follow, so please do take a look at them before sending in your work:

CROSS EYES 2008

The major aim is to build an awareness of Visual Arts among the students in NTU through the exhibition of 3D drawings. We will be putting up 20 3D displays for you to view.The drawing is an art form that gives the viewer a 3D effect. However, not everyone have the ability to see the 3D images from the drawings straight away as this requires a special technique to fuse parts of the drawing into a 3D image.

Date: 22nd Oct (Wednesday) and 23rd Oct 2008 (Thursday)
Time: 12pm to 6pm
Venue: Outside LT1A

A simple competition will be held & PRIZES to be won!!
