Hi AA2A Artists, 

A belated Happy New Year from the AA2A team!

Hopefully you’ll be back at your colleges now after the break and the snow.  Some fantastic blogs and image albums have gone up over Christmas and New Year - if you have a moment to catch up, check out what others have been up to. Two extremes of blogging we particularly enjoyed: Amelia Crouch’s in depth language research series and June Baker’s first time post hello, good to see new work and new faces.  

Now so many of you have work on site, broaden your audience and publicise it! In particular please do anything you can to direct students to this site. You could tell them about it face to face, or put up a notice with the AA2A.biz web address on it. Your Co-ordinator/Adminstrator or Department staff may have other suggestions for the best way to contact students.  If any students you’re in contact with would like a student profile on the site they’re welcome to email me at:  georgia@aa2a.biz  Also if you can encourage them to vote for their favourite artist there are possible benefits for you and the student… there is a link to voting on every artists profile page (on dotbiz and the main site aa2a.org)

More news from us: the main site is being re-designed, allowing for a wider layout all across the site and larger artists’ images on the home page!

A couple of reminders:

- if you join the main forum you can have group discussions about particular topics – there are already a couple started…. 

-  if you have problems using the site please drop us an email and we’ll do our best to help.

Best wishes,

Georgia
