Your Mission: To create a poster, pamphlet, newsletter, PowerPoint presentation, mock interview, video, write and perform a song or skit, design a web page, or any other creative presentation as long as it is approved by me. This will be done in groups.

Step One: Choose a career

Choose a career in art that interests you. www.visualnation.com/arts/197artcareers.html

Step Two: Organize

Keep notes of where you found information. For example, for information from the Internet you could create a folder under your name in your Home drive or on your desktop named art_careers_lastname. Inside, begin a file named research. This is where you can copy and paste information you want to keep. Don't forget to save the web address or URL as you may need to return to that site. Remember, everything must be in your own words when you put the project together. Create a folder called images. This is where where you can save all pictures, clip art etc... Don't forget to write down titles, issues, and page numbers if you are using books and magazines.

Step Three: Research

Research your career and answer the following questions:

1. Definition or brief description of the career.
2. What qualities/interests are needed?
3. History of career.
4. What type of education is needed?
5. What are the qualifications for job?
6. What is the estimated salary?
7. Other: famous people in the career, interesting tidbits(optional)
8. Images/photos related to the career(optional)
