The goal of the Arag

Careers in the Visual Arts WebQuest & Multimedia Group Project
Developed by Barbara Hughes bhughes @smuhsd.k12.ca.us

Imagine that ...
The National Endowment for the Arts, a high-profile national arts organization, has hired your advertising firm to investigate and report on the essential features of career opportunities in the arts and how modern or emerging technology impact the visual arts to motivate the next generation of artists. Your design team will explore the wide range of art-related occupations (such as: landscape designer, medical illustrator, advertising artiest, art educator, set designer, fashion designer, filmmaker, graphic designer, art therapist, furniture designer, greeting card designer, animation artist, or city planner). Each design team will select one visual arts related career in which to concentrate, conduct research and find the facts: including the job description, salary, training, skills, and other factors needed to determine how modern or emerging technologies that affect or will affect the visual arts. Each team will summarize their findings, bringing greater awareness of careers opportunities and the impact of technologies in the visual arts by creating an attractive brochure and informative multimedia presentation. If the client is impressed with your work, the client may want to continue to work with your firm exclusively. This is an opportunity for your company to potentially earn millions of dollars over the next few years.

Imagine that ...

You are four to six advertising firm employees: You are all trained art connoisseurs working together on this important project. Try to be as professional and as objective as possible. Group work should result in a consensus. As a team, select a name for your company, design a logo, research a career in art, research the educational requirements, decide how modern or emerging technologies affect or will affect visual artists, create an informative brochure and multimedia presentation that are unified.
