What to post on your student site:

Thank you to the few of you who have created accounts and have actually posted on your sites.  I'm beginning to wonder why I didn't think of doing this a LONG time ago!  What a great way to see what you think (ha, if you thought I couldn't get in your brain, now you are SADLY mistaken!...).  Here's what I need to have you do with the blogs:

     1.  Post your work BY THE DEADLINES and include the title, size, medium, date, and a
          REFLECTION about the piece.
     2.  Tell me (us) if it is concentration or breadth.
     3.  Include research if you want to - you will be posting your masterwork sketchbook pages    
          eventually.
     4.  Do not use your site as another social media location.  This is for me, for you, and for the class.
          Period.  It may be hard to not put up everything you're interested in, but it makes the task of
          figuring out what IS your portfolio and WHAT IS NOT much more difficult.
     5.  Try to photograph your work as if it is the final piece you are submitting to AP College Board.
     6.  Post your comments to the other student sites and copy me, please, if you need to.

Have fun!
