Hey guys, who's ready to have some awesome art panels?!? I'd very much like to have some more people running panels, and here's a few that spring to mind-

Makin' Pipeys (I'll do this one!)
3D to 2D: the magic of perspective and foreshortening
All about mediums, strengths and weaknesses of various materials
Color theory 101- How to make a pleasing color palette and more
Advanced lighting techniques, how to set them up in person and/or how to imitate them with colors
What's that Style? A look at furry art drawn in traditional styles like minimalism, cubism, impressionism, etc
Basics of cartooning- character creation and exaggeration, or more
Playing with Patterns- a look at how to turn a pattern into a plushie, puppet or clothing, and how to make your own sewing pattern
Iron Artist- competitors with a mystery medium (I'll do this one unless someone else really wants to)
Designing a good tattoo- the dos and don'ts of permanent ink (Fossil would be ideal for this, but if you have some expertise there too speak up!)
Illustration and composition: How to make an appealing visual scene
Comparative Anatomy- how do those funky bird wings work, anyway? How do you make a dog stand on two legs? What the fuck even are bugs?!?
Dragon-crazy! There is a lot to learn about something that is supposed to be fictional- can you tell the difference between a wyvern and a wyrm? Do all dragons have scales? What makes a dragon a dragon?
Artist trading cards- little quickie art trades for funsies, bring your drawing supplies!
Finger painting: Let's all get messy and make something together for fun.
Face painting: gather up a few face-painting artists and let people get in line to have a temporary mask- good for trading tips of the trade!
Understanding Comics: what makes a comic? What makes a GOOD comic? Does it have to be funny or clever or pretty? Talk about your favorite comics and why.
Fun with Body Types: Making your characters diverse in more than one way!
Culinary arts: Recipe swap; imagining dishes for bird people or lion people or rabbit people
Musical arts: bring your acoustic instruments for a little jam time!
Textile arts: bring your knitting/crocheting/sewing/cross-stitch/latch hook/quilt for a little stitch-and-bitch, or to learn new techniques from fellow stitchers!
Literary arts- that's the writing track! Talk to Heavy Horse about that. magic.by.alan[at]gmail.com

If you have an idea for a panel of your own, or if you see something here that you might be interested in running, let me know! Just keep in mind that if it is of an adult nature, it goes under the Adult track as opposed to the Art track. So email Talmak about that- programming@morphicon.org. And along those lines, all of the live drawing events are already taken care of, so don't worry about them :)

If you are interested in running a panel, please send an email to floppybellyoh[at]yahoo.com and include the following information:
Your name
The name of your panel (Or what it's about, if you don't have a name yet)
What you need in order to run it (Things that you don't already have)
When you would prefer to have it happen (Which day, what time, avoiding which other events, etc)
How to contact you (email and/or other means if possible)

Thanks very much!
