Preparing for "Make A Difference Day"
Originally uploaded by Nossi College Of Art

Creatives Group students decided to make a difference and that is just what they did on Friday, October 15th!

Each student set the stage for a ribbon cutting... well not that kind of ribbon cutting. In an assembly line formation each student cut small pieces of pink ribbon to make cancer awareness ribbons for every student in the college. These pink ribbons will be given away on Thursday, October 21st in celebration of Make A Difference Day.

Jazmin Alfaro stated "If each student can wear a pink ribbon on Thursday we can make a difference and create awareness".

Help make a difference on Thursday!

NOSSI ART STUDENTS PAINT MURALS AT EVERGREEN’S DAY PROGRAM FOR

INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES

Evergreen Presbyterian Ministries recently moved into a new building which houses a day program for individuals with severe disabilities; they attend the program each day to learn new skills and engage in social activities. The building in which these individuals spend their days had white walls and sparse decorations until a group of students from Nossi College of Art called the Creatives Group decided to donate their time to make the rooms more inviting and lively. Thanks to their generosity there is now color and life on the walls, brightening the days of all those who attend the program.

The Creatives Group is a group of proactive students at Nossi College who believe in taking their artistic education to a higher level by reaching out to the local community and applying their artistic skills. The director of the group, Collen Curtis, explains that the students were excited to adopt two rooms at Evergreen’s day program. She further explained that the students enjoyed the experience so much that they offered to do a second mural project and decorate even more of the facility. The two teams involved with the murals were led by Tabitha Bennett and Troy Jarvis, and group members include Jazmin Alfaro, Kalen Waterman, Dani Maddox, Chanel Casa, Rick Martin and Shelby Nelson. The Creatives Group is fully committed to their mission, sharing their talents with children suffering from cancer to adults struggling everyday with severe disabilities.

Evergreen’s mission is helping people with disabilities build better lives. For 50 years, Evergreen has successfully fulfilled its mission. Evergreen is a nonprofit, premier provider of services to nearly 1,000 individuals in six states.

Evergreen provides services in Tennessee, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas and Kentucky, and is corporately based in Haughton, Louisiana. Evergreen has offices in Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville and Greeneville, TN.

Evergreen supports and serves nearly 1,000 individuals in Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kentucky. While a majority of these individuals are served in community homes, many of our consumers are now living in supported independent living programs in our communities.

Nossi College of Art Creatives Group students have partnered with Evergreen by adopting two of their rooms at the facility.

The Music and Arts room and the Kitchen are the two rooms that the students will design and paint murals. These visual creations will sooth and set a mood for the patients as well as enhance the aesthetics.

Recently, Evergreen had a ribbon cutting and invited the students to participate and announce our collaboration.

Creatives Group Students are Nossi College of Art's Ad Club proactive students who's mission is to work closely with our community leaders. This in just one example of their tireless work.

Started decorating the 7' tree at the Blue Grass Country Club for their Christmas Tree Elegance event yesterday!

We took old film donated by Amber and all creatives artwork resized and placed in frames. Then we started decorating with this and that...lights, ribbon and more.

We placed the gorgeous tree top that our instructor David Deitrick handmade then adorned the tree with waaaaay up high on the tree.

Out of the blue students Tabby and Jazzy heard about a Gingerbread contest that winners would receive a cash prize for creating. Not very surprised when I saw them hard at work making a Gingerbread creation to include marshmallow igloos and twizzler fountain.

As the day went on we waiting for the Optimist Club to adorn each tree with expensive gifts and trinkets. Our tree because of our origonal artwork was started at an initial value of 1,000.00 and today will be auctioned off for much, much more. I will get you those numbers soon!

Then members of the community came into the club and voted on each of the trees. One was a designer tree from Manuel most known as "King of Cowboy Couture," another was a tree from artist Sheryl Spencer who has contributed her artistic skills to La Crucero and The Nashville Banner, and has been a featured artist in Nashville’s Gibson Guitar Town Project.

We waited all day and when the votes were in... WE WON 1st place :)

I want to thank everyone from the Creatives Group for all their efforts and contributions. I LOVE how we all pulled together during this extremely hard and busy Holiday to work together. This was the true meaning of Christmas for me.

See you on other project and at the meetings!

You're AWESOME!

This what he had to say about it!

For the 2nd consecutive year, Dr. Edwards and I have been selected by Goodpasture Christian School as Homecoming Float Judges. This is exciting because Nossi College of Art will be neighbors to Goodpasture, when we get moved into our new building. The Goodpasture Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores, each built a float for the Homecoming competition. We were judging each float for creativity, theme, difficulty, etc. I want to congratulate the Goodpasture students for the amazing work and thought put into each float. My duties as a float judge were extremely challenging , having to make the decision of whom should be the winner. It was a tough (just kidding---FUN) job, but someone had to do it, and glad it was me.

Ray has done modeling, numerous radio, television, magazine and newspaper commercials (locally and nationally). He was a deputy sheriff (as a liaison between trouble youth and distraught families) for twenty-some years and, as were all the Jordanaires, an honorary member of the Tennessee Governor’s Staff in Tennessee for many years.

The winning entries will be sent to the American Advertising Federation’s 7th District Student ADDY award competition to be held in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in April. Winning student work can then advance to national level competition, where Nossi College of Art has won National Student ADDYs in photography the last three years and an illustration award last year.

“We feel confident our students will again receive honors at the 7th District competition,” stated Cyrus Vatandoost, Nossi’s Executive Director. “The District has consistently presented Nossi College of Art with ADDY awards, where our students have competed against colleges and universities in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Georgia. We are very pleased with their accomplishments.”

Nossi recently developed a Bachelor degree program for photographers. Beginning last fall a Bachelor of Graphic Arts degree in Digital Photography and Video was offered. The program expands on the Associate degree in Commercial Digital Photography and creates an opportunity for students to learn advanced digital photography and video production. Established in 1973, the art college offers Bachelor and Associate degrees in graphic design, illustration, photography and video.

Guests as diverse as Tennessee Education Commissioner Tim Webb, Sesame Street character Elmo and Children's entertainer Farmer Jason of Jason and the Scorchers are gathered to promote a new public television literacy effort.

The invitation-only event at the War Memorial Auditorium was an excellent opportunity for Nossi College of Art Advertising Club President Jennifer Daugherty to test her photo journalistic skills.

PBS Raising Readers program is a research based entertaining program filled with content to help meet the urgent literacy needs of kids, ages 2-8.

Some of the featured guests included the real ELMO from Sesame Street Workshop, Super Why, Between The Lions, WordWorld and many more recognizable characters.

Congress men, house representative and media moguls were mingling in the crowded War Memorial Park auditorium as well.

NPT is one of only 20 stations in the nation selected to participate in CPB's PBS Kids Raising Readers initiative which will provide parents and caregivers with the tools they need to help improve children's reading skills.

Nossi Student Wins T-Shirt Design Contest
Fifth semester artist Cory Stacey won a design competition held by Read To Succeed, a community literacy collaborative that promotes reading, with an emphasis on family literacy.

The project was to design a tee shirt for a one-day high school writing conference, in which teens participate in workshops and panel discussions with professionals in the writing and creative arts industry. The design needed to incorporate the words "collaborate, create, and celebrate."

This non-profit initiative supports literacy programs and fosters awareness of the importance of reading. The challenge was posed to businesses and volunteers in Murfreesboro and Rutherford County.
