RE: Workshop presented by Artkapture: Professional Practice-Portfolios
Wow ! That's a very complete and interesting view on the topic.
Thanks for sharing this ! Shame I didn't noticed it in my feed earlier.
(resteemed)
Thanks, that means a lot. I just see our South African students not getting professional practice traing or teachings and put out the information from my experience. People may disagree with me or be able to add their experiences in that way I can improve the workshops and give other points of view or other ways of doing things. I want to keep learning from others that I can teach more comprehensively. Youngsters need to hear all versions that they can make informed career decisions. I don't know what the market or protocol is in other countries, perhaps it's different, still would like to know.
Even if I can't call myself young anymore, I'm fresh out of the boat in art and I've found your post rich of useful informations.
Using a bit of common sense, I think that could be transposed to any country : these classifications you've built between different portfolios types seem smart and efficient.
I may be naive, but I assume that as any market, art's one as no real frontiers, and so complies to the same basics rituals. They might have to be slightly adapted to local laws/rules/mentality, but I doubt they are radically different.
That said, I must admit I don't know anything about professionnal art universe. I only discovered two months ago that some people could put a bit of value in my scribblings, and so I can't talk too seriously on that market topic :D
When I'll have stuff to present to local small art gallery I'll share my experiments with you, either failures or success, if that can help knowing the french approach of the market :D
Out of kidding : go on with that kind of work, I'm sure that's great for a good number us (readers) :)
Thank you @berien, I would love to hear if artists who apply these points find success or if it at least makes the artists consider how they approach the galleries. My next workshop is on the 21st of this month and I'm going to be looking at presentation, preservation and pricing art works. This is the most difficult and probably most contentious subject, so hold thumbs I don't get lynched ;)
Good luck with that ! :)
I'm going to need it, if you don't from me again after the 21st, know that I probably got stoned to death ;) ;)
and it's been a pleasure knowing you.
