Students have access to professional lighting equipment, a DSLR camera, and photo editing software.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Display an adequate level of professionalism in presentation of work<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Professional presentation occurs on macro and micro levels. Students learn and practice the skills of analysis and evaluation when selecting work for their portfolio. Students demonstrate their understanding of professional presentation standards of their work by correctly preparing their work for exhibition and when preparing an entire exhibition. Additionally, students consider the importance of context and audience. Students also learn and practice professionalism when speaking about their work, including the processes and ideas that drive the creation of the works.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Display critical thinking skills and concrete conceptual development<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Students create a coherent body of work, often across the media, communicating an idea that they have been exploring and investigating. Students demonstrate an understanding of the elements and principles of design and effective use of materials by choosing the strongest and most effective works to be in the portfolio.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Demonstrate a substantial engagement with historical concepts, techniques, artists, and movements as well as a working knowledge of contemporary artists<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 It is important for students to be able to make connections with their work and work in the past and to verbalize where they fit in the grand scheme. Formally and informally, in art history survey courses, studio courses, and foundations courses, students learn about important historical works and what makes them continue to be valuable to artists today.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Request information about Art<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr
