mehallo talks. again. this thursday.

Some­times they let me talk to peo­ple. This Thurs­day is one of those times.

Eliz­a­beth Leonard of the Sacra­men­to Adobe Users Group in­vit­ed me to stand in front of peo­ple and riff about the Bauhaus, its the­o­ries, its rel­e­vance to­day and a few oth­er things.

So part of this will in­volve my BAU course – which I’ve taught at 3 col­leges at this point – and blogged about at an­oth­er point.

AND like FLOMM and the real school it­self – Staatlich­es Bauhaus 1919–33 – con­struc­tivist ed­u­ca­tion, ab­strac­tion, geo­met­ric the­o­ries as well as a lit­tle re­bel­lion in the class­room will be part of the discussion.

Hu­mans kin­da HATE ab­strac­tion – and try­ing NEW THINGS – so when in­tro­duced, feath­ers fly. 

Add a ‘Con­tem­po­rary Na­tion­al So­cial­ist’ to the group (which hap­pened last year), even MOR feath­ers every­where. (the kid said call­ing him a ‘Nazi’ was a ‘racist slur.’) 

The ‘Ma­chine Aes­thet­ic’ and the mod­ern the­o­ries of the Bauhaus also work great when learn­ing dig­i­tal draw­ing tools, such as the béziers of Adobe Il­lus­tra­tor. My BAU les­son plan was also a great fit for a dig­i­tal il­lus­tra­tion course I taught last year. The stu­dent fi­nals to­tal­ly rocked the software.

Soooo, I’ll be cov­er­ing this stuff, WAT it has to do with FLOMM, 4.23, our new POD­CAST and the usu­al what­ev­er I think of MOR things. 

And, as part of my on­go­ing ef­forts to chal­lenge my­self, I’ll also be do­ing this talk at the end of a 14 hour day. Prob­a­bly with­out sleep the night be­fore. Cause I’m in­spired by what co­me­di­ans do at night­clubs at around mid­night. And I’ve been prac­tic­ing with my his­to­ry class the same ap­proach this re­cent se­mes­ter (LONG ASS DAY, then standup, work­ing on be­ing ‘on’ when I’m to­tal­ly ex­haust­ed), why should this venue be any different?

De­tails:

Two great speak­ers for the price of one!

Our June 1st meet­ing we’ll have two pre­sen­ters: Jer­ry Kennedy of CDK Cre­ative will be talk­ing about in­spi­ra­tion and ef­fi­cient cre­ative process and Steve Mehal­lo (FLOMM founder/design ed­u­ca­tor) will be talk­ing about Bauhaus-era de­sign his­to­ry and cur­rent ap­pli­ca­tions of it. Juicy stuff for all sides of brains. See you at the Art In­sti­tute at 6:30pm on June 1, 2017!

Sacra­men­to Adobe User Group meet­ings are free for first-timers and mem­bers. Mem­ber­ship is $15 an­nu­al­ly, and gets you chances to win brag-wor­thy door prizes at each meet­ing as well!

Meet­ings are held on the first Thurs­day of each month at 6:30pm at the

The Art In­sti­tute of California–Sacramento
2850 Gate­way Oaks Dri­ve, Room 241
