= LHS Open Studio Portfolios 2011-2012 =

Online Portfolios are due Tuesday, January 24. These are "take-home exams" for the course, so it is expected that you put some time and thought into your work!

 * Requirements:**
 * **Digital image of each finished project (~6 total) with caption including title, date, and medium used**
 * **For each image, a written summary/reflection of your project. Explain your idea! This is like a mini-artist statement for each project. Write it BELOW each photograph. You can look at the written portion of each self-reflection you wrote this semester to help you along.**
 * **ARTIST STATEMENT: three paragraphs, the equivalent of 1/2 to 1 page typed. Your artist statement describes your method, process, and philosophy of your artwork. It should be descriptive, not merely stating facts. Get to the root of WHY you make art, and HOW you get your ideas! The purpose of the artist statement is to direct and connect with viewers as they look at your art.** **Don't forget to proofread your statement for spelling and grammatical errors.**
 * **COMMENT on every portfolio in your class (you don't have to comment on Jabs' sample page. :) ) Comments should be SPECIFIC, not "I like your art."**

 * Now, take digital photographs of your artwork. **
 * ** the image should not be distorted or blurry. **
