The exhibit will be scheduled during the senior year and selected from juried works under the supervision of the art faculty. It is expected that the student will have assisted the art faculty with the installation of an exhibit prior to putting up their own show. Only masterfully executed exhibits will receive high grades. In general, matting and framing visually strengthens works on paper. Frame work that should or could be framed.
Frames look better than just mats.
Properly mat any works on paper works you are exhibiting. Consider that works that are framed may not need to be matted. Cut neat, clean professional mats. Using mats of one color may strengthen the appearance of your exhibit. Use high quality plastic packing tape that will not come loose for matting.
