Guidelines & Forms
These points are excerpts from "Get Your Art on the Web", by Michael Chelsey Johnson,
published in The Artist's Magazine, April 2007
- Size: We will resize, crop, rotate and optimize your images as needed. They need to be at least
72 dpi and at least 400 px on one side.
-
Colors: Pictures of your artwork should represent the colors of your
artwork but the quality and settings of monitors vary greatly, visitors to the site may not see
the same colors that you see in your monitor. You don't have to waste
too much time getting the colors absolutely perfect.
- Lighting: Please photograph your work in natural light if a professional
lighting set-up is not available to you.
- Focus: Please, please, please make sure your images are in focus!
- Keystoning: If photographing a 2-D object, such as a painting, please do not tilt
it such that the width of the top side is shorter than the width of the bottom side.
This causes a rectangular object to look like a tapezoid. This is called 'keystoning'.
It is sometimes pretty hard to avoid.
These points are excerpts from "The Write Stuff", by Kathy Gulrich, published in
The Artist's Magazine, April 2005
- Your Artist's Statement is typically written in the first person. Kathy Gulrich says,
"...your Artist's statement talk about the relationship between you and your art, your process, your soul."
- In your biography answer these questions:
- How did you get started?
- In general, what are you doing now?
- What is your work all about (medium, technique, etc.)?
- What are your major accomplishments (awards, feature articles, etc.) so far?
- Where did you study and what degrees do you hold?
- Your resume should be a chronological list of exhibitions, awards and education.
