SUPER ART FIGHT! Sign-Up & Prelims: Part 2 || ArtWeek '14
Second round of Super Art Fight!
Wednesday, March 5, 2014 · 12 - 2 PM
If you're interested in participating in SUPER ART FIGHT during Art Week, this is the place to be! These sign-ups and preliminary rounds are required for participation!
// Sign-Ups
During the prelims on Monday and Wednesday, sign ups will happen from 12:00pm-12:30pm. From there we'll bracket it out. If you can't make it to one round, you can always compete in the other. For instance if you have a club meeting on Monday, you can always compete on Wednesday, or vice versa.
// The Battles & Themes
Each battle lasts about 15 minutes. Only two markers are given to each artist, one black and one red. At the beginning of each battle, each of the two artists will be given a theme, ie zombie pokemon vs angsty harry potter. The artists will "battle" the two drawings against each other, drawing their own theme, plus trying to "sabotage" the other, ie drawing a tutu and fairy wings on angsty harry potter. Every 5 minutes or so the theme will change so that more drawings will be added, creating a crazy -cool looking canvas at the end.
// How The Winners are Chosen
If we have a big crowd, the winner will be chosen by crowd noise, if it's a bit smaller (which we won't let happen, right??) it will be chosen by the MCs. Then we'll keep going along the bracket until a winner is chosen for that day. The winners of the Monday and Wednesday rounds will both go on to compete with and against the Super Art Fight Artists on Friday.
// Friday's Event
For Friday, SAF will introduce tag-team battles so the Mon/Wed winners won't be completely on their own, and the battles may last longer as well. Other than that, the Friday battle will be pretty much the same.
// Come One, Come All!
Even if you aren't participating, this event is pretty amazing to watch! The Sports Zone was packed with people last year, so come early to claim a spot!The Facebook event can be found here:
