Portfolio Preparation and 21st Annual Senior Show

This show is a JURIED exhibition that showcases artwork from Art 3, Art 4 and advanced level photo classes at the Board of Education. There is a reception in April that celebrates the artwork chosen, recognizes outstanding student artists with prizes and scholarships, and allows one student/artist representative from each high school (chosen by each school's art teacher) to present their own body of work during the reception.

Because this is a JURIED show, the artwork you submit may not get chosen to be in the show. However, EVERYONE in Art 3 and Art 4 at Howard is required to submit 4 pieces and their statements. The number of entries juried into the show is dictated by the gallery size: 40 pieces (county-wide)for the Portfolio Preparation show and 90 pieces (county wide) for the Senior Show. The number of pieces per school will be based on a percentage of the total entries. Each school will be allotted that percentage of the individual school’s total entries.

DEADLINE:
On-line applications need to be submitted via Google Docs and student jpegs due to Ms. Brennan no later than March 3, 2011. Applications that are not complete or are late will not be considered.

STEP 1: CHOOSING YOUR WORK and DIGITAL IMAGES
Choose four jpeg images of work done during the current year.

IMAGE QUALITY MUST BE AWESOME!! Use proper lighting (natural is best), no flash, CROP, use all the techniques on your "Photographing Your Artwork" cheat sheet. Remember the advice that Mr. Hanson demonstrated!!!

Images should be formatted as:
- jpegs
- 300 DPI
- Approximately 5 in X 7 in OR 1500 X 2100

Please label images using the following information:
- Last Name, School Abbreviation, Image Number Example: SmithWLHS1.jpg, SmithWLHS2.jpg, SmithWLHS3.jpg, SmithWLHS4.jpg.

Have the jpegs number match the title and media on the application.
BRING A "FOLDER" (title of folder your name please) OF YOUR SUBMISSIONS ON A THUMBDRIVE AND PUT ON MY COMPUTER. I WILL PUT ALL OF HOWARD'S WORK ON ONE CD.

STEP 2: APPLICATION and ARTIST STATEMENTS
Artist Statements should be typed in Word and copied and pasted into the box for the statement on Google Docs (link above). Your statement is a very important and public part of the exhibition. Be sure to edit, spell-check, articulate, etc. Show me before you submit.
