Speaker Events for Spring 2026
- To receive credit for a speaker event, post a photo of you with the speaker on your blog. Ask the speaker permission to take a photo.
- Two speaker events are required. I encourage you try to attend more so you may develop ideas and concepts for your visual work.
- Many events available for co-curricular credit. Go to Saints Connect Flagler College (search online for website or through MyFlagler) to look for event and sign up for co-curricular.
- Additional speaker events listed in Saints Connect or may be announced by the College during the semester. Students are not limited to the events I post here on the blog. If you do attend an event not listed here, must give name and date of event to receive credit (along with photo of you with speaker).
NOTE: One Art After Dark can count toward a speaker event. Get a photo of you attending with others. Ask permission to take a photo of the others in attendance. Go to aigaflagler_fc on instagram for dates and times.

Artist Inspiration
- Search this class blog for six artworks you admire.
- Use the right column index to explore various categories.
- If on your phone or ipad and do not see right column index, scroll to bottom of page and select "web version".
- Images can be from a professional artist, design firm or student work.
- A screen shot of the image will most likely be the most efficient way to capture the image.
- Place images in a post on your personal blog.
- Caption each image with the name of artist/design firm and a hyperlink to the site. This is necessary as whenever you place an artist's image on a public platform, you need to state their name and link to source.
- Also, number images accordingly, 1 - 6.
- Do not use the same artists used for Elements and Principles assignment.
