web site planning

free www.information
Make sure you review web hosting with free unlimited domain & webspace @ webhostingfreereviews.com  
There are URLs being launched daily, so no doubt there will be more to add to this list, continually.  

here are a few >
www.intuit.com
www.tiptopwebsite.com/
www.webstarts.com                                     

Godaddy.com  = domain names + web hosting
* Those of you with Creative Cloud can build for free at http://behance.net

www.PLANNING 
creating an architectural blue print 
Each of you will be creating a website to accompany your BFA thesis exhibitions. 
You will first need a domain name for your site that may have an annual or biannual fee.
Find and review other artist/designer websites. 
It's helpful to discover ones you wish to emulate as excellent models to help you build your own, as well as those that you know will not suit your personal needs.
Your web address will be placed on all your promotional materials during your exhibition and on any out-going professional materials. 

organization is important
The organization of your website immediately conveys a great deal of information about you to your audience.
Where each category is listed on your 'home' page immediately implies a hierarchy.
Below, the ‘builder’ wants the audience to see their CV first, CONTACT info last. 

CV
BIO
STATEMENT
IMAGES (subdivided into 2D / 3D work / separated by medium)
VIDEO WORK
EXHIBITIONS
PRESS (text and other writings)
GRANTS  = AWARDS
COMMISSIONS
ARTIST’S LECTURES & PRESENTATIONS
PUBIC + PRIVATE COLLECTIONS
BLOG 
LINKS
CONTACT et al.

Loosely sketch out on paper, or in your computer, how you wish to see your website take shape.

 the question is,
What do you wish to illustrate to your audience?
How do you want the world to navigate through your pages?

 begin > 
Your website does not have to be launched until you are satisfied.

 maintain > 
You need to post to your site with up-dated information on-going. 
There is nothing more unprofessional than information that is out-of-date on any website.

capstone committee

purpose, function + contract

In order to successfully complete SA498 :: Senior Research Project & Development, each student must have two active Faculty Committee Members (one from the student’s program, the second can be selected from outside the student’s program) as well as one Professional Contact advisor active in the visual arts field.

selection of a Faculty + Professional Committee Member(s)
The Faculty member may be a full or part time faculty member, administrator, or staff member from the Division of Art + Design. The second Faculty member may come from outside the Division of Art + Design. One of the two members must however be full time.

The Professional Contact member is active in the visual arts field, and chosen with the student’s creative methods and interests in mind. 

Selection of a Contact is through the mutual consent of a) the student, b) the proposed Contact and c) Faculty Advisor, Professor Jen Pepper.

purpose + function of Faculty + Professional Committee Member(s)
The Faculty advisor should meet independently with the student at least twice throughout the semester. 
Meetings are the ideal arena for establishing a meaningful working relationship with the student, offering criticism 
and guidance in their ongoing creative work and scholarly research paper. 

The Committee member should be knowledgeable of the topic the student’s paper is 
concentrated and creative work to fully assist the student in their development. 
The Committee member and student are encouraged to write notes and give constructive feedback to strengthen the performance of the student through the development of their paper and creative work.  The Committee member will read the student’s Capstone progress in the 6-7 week of Fall term ­and in week 9-11, to offer constructive criticism of the student’s progress and development.  Committee members will sign off and date following each read on a copy of this contract that the student will submit to the Faculty Advisor.

On each occasion, the Faculty Committee member shall speak in depth of the student’s creative work and Capstone research, giving back critical feedback on both. 
Following this critique a signed document stating that the Faculty member was given the student’s Capstone, has read and commented on it.  
The Professional Contact member meets only once with the student in the fall term and will have the opportunity to read the student’s research and comment upon it as well.
  
Faculty Advisor of SA 498 :: Senior Research Project and Development, Prof. Jen Pepper is available for questions and concerns that may arise during this process. 

I have read and understand the responsibilities of accepting the position of the student’s Faculty/Professional Contact advisor. If for some reason I am unable to fulfill my responsibilities and commitment to the student listed below I will immediately contact the student and Jen Pepper.
