Chapter 2 was about putting together your artist packet that you would send to gallieries or so places that would or could show your work. The first thing that the chapte talked about was the cover letter and how that it should be short and to the point. The next thing was the artist bio. This can be done in a few ways. Either way is ok and both bet the message accross. If you have not been in any galleries or showing's you could also put who you have studied under in this partof the packt as well. The next page in the packet would be you artist statement. This seems like the hardest part of the packet, because you are putting everything that you belive in into a one pag piece of paper that has taken years to devolope. Next page would be a list of exibhiations that you have done in the past as well as reviews of your. The nextpart of your packet is the visual aspect. There are a few ways to go about this as well. You can put slides of your work in to the packet. Anohter idea would yo use a CD or a DVD. The choice depends one how new the gallery or how new age the director is that owns that gallery is. At the end of the chapter it talks a lot about how to take a good pgotograph. I agree with everything that it said. I had taken photographs of my work a semister ago and there are so many variables that can change a lot on how your art is look and presived. I got out of this chapter that when you are creating a artist packet you are tryng to put you into an envolpe and sending you to 100 places at once. The artist packet should be a refelction of you as a artist as well as a human being.
