Hi, my name is Patty Fernandez and I'm an art teacher and today's activity is how to label artwork for an exhibition. Now the first thing you have to do is try and read one of these kind of forms that they send you and the easiest thing to do is to get a highlighter and actually highlight what they want you to put on the entry because if you don't do it correctly, sometimes they throw your work out and that's so disappointing. So always go through the prospectus and make sure that you have everything, all the information they want exactly the way it's presented. If you're doing an exhibit at a school, you might want to just get away with using an index card with the title, the student's name, the grade level, the room number, the teacher's name and the school's name. Some people go well that looks tacky. I always just take a red marker and put a little boarder around it because you don't want anything to take away from the actual artwork but if you don't have any money like most art people, you have to have other ways of making things look nice, ta da. The other thing you can do is buy double mats. Because you can split them and now all of a sudden you have two mats in order to frame the artwork. Sometimes if you don't back everything that also will get your work disqualified so this is probably the best route to go, just listing these tings if you're doing a regular school event but if you're actually doing an exhibition where they ask you to do certain things a certain way, please get a highlighter and follow their directions. You never want to be disappointed because you didn't glue something correctly. My name is Patty Fernandez. Please visit my website Pattyfernandezartist.com and I'll see you later.
