Unlike the about.PAGE. The writing here will be less formal!

classroom.17.COLLABORATIONS is basically what it sounds like. It is a cluster of artists who are MATCHED to create some collaborative goodness. Whether its 2 artists on a canvas or 5 on a wall. C17C (classroom.17.COLLABORATIONS) is all about meshing the different forms of art to create a whole new one. The goal is evolution, and building strengths amongst artists involved. Unlike a classroom we will be learning a lot about each other instead of just one teacher.  With a few guidelines C17C is supposed to bridge away from being an actual dull and boring classroom and introduce artists the classroom within themselves.

Collaborations are way more that just completed a piece with a member/friend/partner. Its all about sharing knowledge. Learning from each other, and executing a well thought out piece. If you take two great artists and have them collaborate, then the artwork finished should be twice as good as a piece completed by them individually. Great minds think alike, but imagine if they worked together. Collaborating introduces new styles, ideas, and techniques. It helps the art-form evolve.

So here's the plan...
<ul>
	<li>Artists from New York and Boston are involved, and are allowed to participate after answering a few questions <a href="http://classroom17.com/entryForm.zip" target="_blank">(you may download these questions and guidlines here)</a>. Don't worry these questions just ask about type of genre the artist associate themselves with, and a medium they prefer (this will help match our artists with the perfect collaborators)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li>We require a height of skill in order to be a part of the group, you don't have to be Da Vinci but it would help if the artists knew exactly what they were doing.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li>Each artists will be asked to hand in their schedules to plan out the perfect dates for collaborations. Artists may ask for a specific month to collaborate or they could send in a month to month schedule so that they can be paired at anytime.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li>The final goal is to complete a handsome amount of pieces to display at a gallery. The temporary gallery will be help at Mikey's home. Any collaborator that wishes to see all pieces completed may come by.</li>
</ul>
