working on my website...

http://kaseyhartsock.weebly.com/

think i've at least started in the right direction
wanting to advertise my photography, director, and model capabilities
still looking at other websites like mine for reference....
any new critiques to be made??
i think its a work in progress but i feel satisfied with it thus far :)

i absolutely prefer the website over the blog (with keeping updated)

5 year plan

1 year from now:
I plan on living in either the OC (bc its only an hour away from my parents) or if they move to Arizona by the time i graduate then i plan on moving there.
In that time I'm going to decide if i should go to grad school at ASU or not
2 years from now:
working at some sort of magazine or branch of a clothing brand company - helping with advertisements, hopefully past the stage of interning & exploring - instead getting my portfolio together for an art director position
3 years from now:
hopefully getting married - may have to relocate to where my husband is stationed (army) fingers crossed for NY. which has some of the most opportunities for art directors for major magazines, labels, and companies such as Conde Nast.
4 years from now:
a good, working, and ever expanding portfolio - applying for bigger position jobs
maybe after settling down at this point, able to produce personal art work and apply for gallery spaces
5 years from now:
I'll be 27 years old, with a family, located in some sort of busy city (no rural area please)
with a 9-5 job at some sort of fashion inspired corporate place
plans for the future? kids, a home, creating and working on my own line, casting director, free lance photographer, regularly keeping a blog, discover different religions, travel, and live.

Lexy's 5 year

Year 1: Find a job to fund my move to North or South Carolina or Georgia. At this point it can be really anything to make money to move. Do art on the side and try to get work into Comma Coffee, The Hobson Gallery, and Artsy Fartsy.

Year 2: Move to the already mentioned states. Get a job with a literary review like the North Carolina Literary Review, Crazyhorse Literary Review, or Georgia Review. Enjoy the east coast.

Year 3: Continue to live  and work on the east coast and start submitting work to galleries like  the Alan Avery Art Company in Georgia, 701 CCA in South Carolina, or the Upstairs Gallery in North Carolina. 

Year 4: Get tired of the east and miss my family. Move back home. Start my own sort of small poetry review with my new connections and experience. Start applying to graduate school. 

Year 5: Move to the Bay Area [probably live with my grandma] and go to the University of San Francisco working towards my MFA in Creative Writing.

REMINDER: What's due for the final (besides breakfast)

Before the start of the final, you must have completed:

1. Your website, with all tweaks to portfolio, artist statement, and resume made.

2. Your fleshed out 5-year plan, with names and contact info for all the details (MFA programs, residencies, exhibit spaces, publishers, etc., you plan to approach), BOTH posted to this class blog, and printed out.

3. A one-paragraph statement on why it is important (or at least interesting) for a culture to have artists. Or, if it makes more sense to think of the question this way: what's the use of being an artist? Have a PRINTED COPY of this for the final.
