Culminating Portfolio

As part of your culminating activity for this class, you must establish yourself in an online community as a cyberARTist. There are numerous professional-looking, yet free, online websites that allow you to present your work with brief descriptions (artist statements). It's time to get busy folks. Start now by searching for the online portfolio site that's right for you. Keep in mind, you will want to have one that includes video.
Your site should include a minimum of 12 pieces from both art and tech, however at least 7 must be from the tech classes. They can also be from the past three years of your cyberARTS classes.
The music video you are currently working on must be included, along with the promotional poster you are creating to go with it.

Requirements:
Easy to use (as a viewer)
Must display your work in a clean and professional format
Must have a space for text (your artist statements)
Must have contact information
You must also link to a facebook page (not your personal one, but a facebook page for your artwork) or other secondary social networking site
You must accurately tag and categorize your site (ie. illustration, design, fine art, multimedia etc.) based on the work you are displaying


Here are a few sites to get you started:
Note that some of them have immediate access to job postings (something to think about for your careers assignment!)
