syllabus — ART 394 — PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE IN THE STUDIO

 

 

Professional Application(s)

 

brief description:

 

Choose an art application that is relevant to your chosen area within the arts and complete it including all of the necessary components, so it is prepared for submission.

 

You may choose one of the following application avenues:

 

 

project submission (to me):

 

All items must be submitted to D2L on or before our class FINAL.

·       A copy of items that were submitted in the application (PDFs, JPGs, DOCs, email correspondence, etc. I do not need grade transcripts). These should be labeled with your last name in the file name.

·       A verification that items were uploaded and/or submitted (a PDF of an email verification or screen capture of the submission page or verification is great).
NOTE: I will not require that you hit the final button to submit the application. You do NOT need to pay a fee to complete the assignment. Simply save the completed application as a PDF before paying the fee (to save a PDF you can go to “print” and choose “save to PDF” from the print menu) or screen capture the full completed application.

 

           

possible opportunities:

Simply save the completed application as a PDF before paying the fee. (However, you are currently eligible for this program, so if you want to apply you can pay the fee.)
