Week #7

TOWSON WEATHER : 79° - 47°, Mostly Sunny.

NOTE:

When presenting your work this evening, remember these basic questions: WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, and WHY?

Who's works are you talking about? What kind of media/work is exhibited?
Where is this exhibition, and when is this happening?
And, why did you choose the color scheme for this website?
Most importantly, why did you choose these artists; what do you like about their works of art?

- Talk about uploading to the WWW
