ART286 — Professional Practices
This course provides instruction in the business of art, guides in the development of portfolios, and requires a final exhibition of students' work. Art students transferring to colleges and universities will prepare portfolios, artist statements, and resumes. Moreover, students will learn about the business of fine art and design and its career options. Each student is expected to conduct both traditional and field research, to select from among artwork completed in previous classes for a strong portfolio, to write an essay that articulates the artwork's focus, and to show selected work in a group exhibition.
