Every artist and designer needs to provide professional documents to represent themselves. These documents are invariably based on writing.
In our next unit, we are going to walk through the process of writing a short biographical blurb (50-100 words), an artist's statement (300-500 words), and a one-page art-focused resume. The terms resume and CV (curriculum vitae) are roughly synonymous. CVs tend to be more detailed and are not restricted to a single page.
This is not a recycling exercise. You must write and submit new content. In fact, these documents are rarely static and fixed. Throughout your life you will be writing tailored bios, artist statements, and resumes that "fit" particular jobs and opportunities.
Bio: Due Wednesday, January 31, 9:00 am. Upload to Populi.
Artist Statement: Draft (ungraded but required) due next Monday, February 5, 9:00 am. Upload to Populi. Final due next Wednesday, February 7, 9:00 am. Upload to Populi.
Resume: Draft (ungraded but required) due Monday, February 12, 9:00 am. Upload to Populi. Final due Wednesday, February 14, 9:00 am. Upload to Populi.
I will average these three components to calculate your final grade for this unit. You are free to revise and improve all three components until the final submission date, Wednesday, February 14.
