Resources Standards and Guidelines
Watkins
College of Art and Design requires that students turn in a sample
of their work each semester to import into our searchable institutional
digital “ARTchive” which is currently under construction. The following
PDF below includes guidelines and standards for submitting student
work and copystand requests to the Visual Resources Project.
The
Visual Resources “ARTchive” database is being created from the MDID
application developed at James Madison University . This application
allows an art instructor to search for digital images, store their
own digital images, create classroom presentations, and set aside
images for student study. General information about MDID is available
at www.mdid.org/mdidwiki.
Please
direct any questions you have about Visual
Resources Standards and Guidelines to Virginia Allison,
the Visual Resources Curator. vallison@watkins.edu
