purpleponyartI did my administrivia today and I don't think there will be another week with back to back projects due for critique. Last week was tough. I missed Wednesday's critique because I was feeling run down. Only four or so people finished anything for Thursday--and I ran into technical problems, so I was mildly embarrassed I didn't finish. I'll get more photos soon.

We have studio time and a portfolio building workshop. For years and year, teaching business skills to artists was almost non-existent. You might learn to write a resume, artist statement, biography or such, but it wasn’t a huge part of art education. The worst thing you could do 20 years ago was be a sell-out. The Internet has thankfully flattened out the old gallery structure—artists can be in charge of marketing, photography, bios and deal directly with buyers. It can still be hard to pick up these skills and most of what I learned was along the way through trial and error. It’s why I‘m so active on artist alley and Etsy FB groups. Sellers of all ages and stripes can avoid pitfalls by asking good questions!

We're having individual meetings and my group needs to meet for our presentation on March 2. Reading week is February 21-25, so we gotta get on it.

A field trip was on the schedule, but field trips are not allowed across all classes at the moment, so we'll just have studio time and individual meetings.
