For each corresponding slide, include your name, the work’s title (or Untitled), date created, medium/a used, and size of artwork. Label the document with your name & telephone number, and indicate which of the three Art Education Programs to which you are applying.
*Video/media pieces can be attached outside the Powerpoint Presentation.
2. Providing a link to your website or other online portal. Include a means for us to contact you if we have questions.
Also, indicate which of the three Art Education programs to which you are applying:
