[BAS Newsletter] Reminder - Nearly time to ZOOM

[Adrian Fowle]

See joining instructions below


One of our members, has kindly agreed to put on an extra "First Friday"
demo for us this coming Friday 7th August.

Mania Row, Artist and Adult Art Educator, will introduce her own art
practice and demonstrate how to make an Accordion Book as an Artful
thinking space

*The timing is different from usual.* As an experiment we are starting
and finishing much earlier, which I think will be more convenient for
online events. Let me know!

The formal part of the meeting will be from 18:00 - 20:00 with a break.
I shall try to be online from 17:30 or at least sometime before the talk
so that members can chat as we did in face to face meetings.

Mania notes "Members might like to have a long piece of paper ( can be
joined up to make this length ) 6 to 8 inches by 30 to 40 inches long so
that they can make the Accordion book with me once I have demonstrated
how to do this". You won't need it during the demo, but the full project
requires scissors, white glue, a cup of water and a brush, tape  and
collage materials. The long piece of paper can be assembled from scraps
of different recycled paper.

*Zoom etiquette: *1) Zoom clerverly detects who is speaking and
highlights their video feed for all the other users. Usually good, but
if you cough, rustle a crisp packet or your spouse speaks it will focus
on you. Not good. The way round this is to mute your microphone when not
speaking. This also prevents audio feedback on occasions. Mania is happy
to take questions during the session, for which of course you will need
to unmute.

2) Please join with a name I can recognise. We need to be wary of non
members joining who can see our camera feeds, and if I need to invite
you into the conversation I have to know who you are.

3) There is a chat facility built into Zoom, which is useful for letting
the chair / host (me) know that you wish to speak, or for clarifying
points without interrupting the speaker.  Hover your mouse near the
bottom of the screen and a toolbar appears. The chat icon is on this.

These are the skills needed in this Covid world....



This will be our second BAS Zoom meeting and we are already getting into
making things with the demonstrator. It should be fun. The Zoom
