POST ARTIST STATEMENT AND BIO HERE!


Hello All,
We will have a brief crit of work for the show at the beginning of class. We will see if we can hang in room 8.
Be prepared to post your Artist Statement & BIO to the blog by class time, 03/25/14.
Please post your Artist Statements ans Bios in the comments below.
Please plan to bring fresh images for presentations.
I understand there was no opportunity to have presentations for the Lies and Truths due to Mock Interview scheduling. We will be sticking to this schedule below.
Be sure to print copies of statements for all to write comments and return to you.
During your presentation, you should also show any progress you have made on your Behance site.

Moore's BEHANCE site is now up and running!!  Here is some information about how Moore is using the BEHANCE website:http://moore.edu/admissions/bfa-admissions/admission-requirements/portfolio-requirements/behance-online-portfolios

This e-mail serves as a reminder about the new requirement for the Internship Prep/Professional Development course of requiring students to post at least one project in a Behance portfolio.
The URLs for getting to the Moore BEHANCE site are:http://portfolios.moore.edu or http://moore.edu/behance
Students can create their portfolio from the main Behance website as well, and then associate their Portfolio with the Moore Gallery. (https://www.behance.net)

ARTIST STATEMENTS: By and About Artists

Hello All,
Below are some readings and videos to think about while you continue to prepare artist statements and speak/think about art in general. We will read and discuss the content below in class over the next two weeks, 3/4 & 3/18. Spring break is March 11th, so there will be no class. Remember Tiger Strikes Asteroid member Jaime Alvarez will be coming to speak to us on 3/18 @ 4pm. 
Hope you are surviving the snow... again.
