Crosseye 2009

2009-09-24T21:53:00.000-07:00

Visual Arts Society (VAS) will be holding the annual "Cross Eyes" event on the following dates:

- 20th October 2009 (Tuesday)
- 21st October 2009 (Wednesday)

Venue: Canopy J, in front of OCBC Bank

Time: 10:30AM - 5:30PM

The aim is to increase awareness of visual arts among the students in NTU through the exhibition of 3D drawings and displays.

These pictures will give the viewer 3D effects. But not everyone has the ability to see the 3D images from such pictures straightaway.

This requires a special viewing technique to combine parts of the drawing into the 3D image.

Hope to see you there!

Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2009

2009-09-24T21:52:00.000-07:00

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.
