IMD I and II - Visual Arts Portfolio Entry

"Beauty Is..." Visual Arts Portfolio Entry

All IMD students will need to create a visual arts project. We will be following the guidelines and theme from the PTA reflections contest. Digital Work is not allowed for this assignment, you must create your entry using pen pencil brush etc.

Visual Arts

A visual arts entry must be an original print, drawing, painting, collage, metal etching or punch work, fiber work, that relates to the current Reflections Program theme.

Whether an entry uses a variety of techniques or a simple approach, it will be judged primarily on how well the student uses his or her artistic vision to portray the theme. A well-developed concept is more important than technique.

Presentation

* All art must be flat and may not be more than 3/8 inch thick. This includes all two-dimensional materials and images, including small, flat items (such as string, fabric, and screening) that have maximum surface contact with the face of the image. Nothing three-dimensional (noodles, beans, beads, boxes, etc.) may extend off the surface of a work.
* No art may exceed 24 inches by 30 inches, including a mat.
* Entries may be submitted on paper, canvas board, cardboard, hot or cold pressboard, or canvas (not to exceed 3/8-inch thickness).

You will turn in your visual arts portfolio work for an IMD grade (60 points). Submiting the work to the reflections contest is optional.

Please note that the following 3D artwork may not be submitted to the reflections contest, but can be turned in for the portfolio assignment.

Sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, and other three-dimensional artwork
