Create a web site -- a digital (online) portfolio for your artwork.  We will discuss and practice using Microsoft FrontPage and Macromedia DreamWeaver MX.  I will also provide a short Flash MX demonstration (FYI -- use of DreamWeaver MX and Flash is purely optional).

Assignment #2

In this assignment students will work with a web authoring system (DreamWeaver) to create a digital portfolio for their artwork.  Students will carefully develop a site plan, page design, buttons, and special features.
