With our Spring Showcase quickly approaching it's fun to check in with the work our students' are preparing for the show! Our Digital Design and 3D Modeling class is working on completing a group project before the deadline hits. Have you ever heard of an Exquisite Corpse?
The students of the Digital Design class had no previous experience with the Exquisite Corpse so before they got into animating one together, their teacher Ms. Emily Steffen decided they should break into groups and do a traditional Exquisite Corpse drawing in groups of 3. The results turned out AMAZING and can be seen below! For the Traditional Exquisite Corpse like this...A piece of paper is folded into three equal portions. The top portion is to be the head of the corpse. The middle portion is to be the torso and the bottom is to be the legs. For the head- You need to draw the head and neck. You can even draw down to the beginning of the shoulders. Stay within the boundaries of your section. When finished draw two guidelines to the torso section showing the next participant where to start the boundaries of their figure. Then fold the paper over so the next participant cannot see the head you have drawn! For the torso- use the guidelines the head left you and draw a torso down to the waist/beginning of the legs. Stay within your boundary of your section. When you’re done draw two guidelines into the legs section showing where they should start the boundaries of their legs. Don't forget to fold the paper over in the end so the next participant can't see the previously drawn head and body! For the legs- draw a complete set of legs to finish off the figure! Once the legs are complete reveal the finished figure to everyone!
- Until next time. Stay creative, Chicago!

Andres graduates this year and will continue his creative journey and passion for making movies that matter in college. "Created in 2005, Cinema/Chicago’s CineYouth Film Festival is designed to encourage youth filmmakers in their creative endeavors. CineYouth provides opportunities for young filmmakers to articulate themselves artistically, and have their voice heard. Held annually in Chicago, CineYouth is a three-day festival celebrating and fostering the creativity of filmmakers 22 years old and younger by screening officially selected work and encouraging their creative endeavors by presenting a filmmaking workshop, discussions and panels."
Celebrating One of Our Own Kera MacKenzie, a teacher in our Video Production Dual Credit course is a recipient of a 2018 Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events grant.

The list of grantees is quite impressive and securing a grant is competitive, to say the least. Kera will be showing her finished film at the Chicago Underground Film Festival this June.

One thing that we are so proud of at Gallery 37's Advanced Arts program is the variety of programs housed under our roof! Our students are able to take classes ranging from Jazz, Digital Design... all the way to the Culinary Arts! Our Culinary Arts program is overseen by Chefs Patrick and Yves, and they do some fantastic work with our students. If you enter Gallery 37 while classes are in session, and decide to take the stairs or elevator to your desired floor, the amazing smells of our Chefs' and students' hard work can be smelled wafting up from their classrooms in the buildings lower level. Some of us are lucky to work a few floors away from their creations... or we might be too distracted to complete our own work! However sometimes the Culinary Arts classes decide to surprise us all, and share their hard work with the rest of us in the Advanced Arts Program. Students in their full kitchen gear journey up to the other classes to declare there is a tasting downstairs... and everyone essentially drops what they're doing to join in the fun and sharing! This last Friday they made us all a very special invitation... to... PROJECT PIG! In a effort to ramp up student-to-student dialogue that provokes intelligent discussion over food choices and the responsibility of knowing where the food on your plate comes from, Chef Yves and Chef Patrick decided to visit a local slaughterhouse and bring in five freshly slaughtered pigs for Pork Production Week. After doing some initial research on anatomy, composition, nutrition, and butchery, students got to prepare and present each team pig with an international theme, along with numerous side dishes. Teams decided to represent Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Korea, Italy, and Spain. All programs and staff were invited to feast. Thank you Chefs for giving our students such an amazing experience... and for letting us join in the fun. We will gladly be your taste testers ANYTIME and can't wait to see what amazing dishes you all create next! - Until next time. Stay creative, Chicago!
