Learn how to best present your art and yourself online. This informative seminar will educate you not only on why a web presence is mandatory in this age of technology, but also on using the Internet as a part of your artistic practice beyond online portfolios. Using social media, blogs, and your own website(s) as an interactive medium increases your audience exponentially and, most important, turns your creative practice into a dynamic dialog. You do not need to be techno-savvy to enroll in this seminar. This course is ideal for students considering getting their work online, or seeking advice on how to bring their presence to the next level.
