Hi Heather,
For the Exhibition text does it have to be 500 character or is there a word count?
Should the size of the work be in inches or cm?
When the art work is made by the student do they need to write for example (self-made), acrylic, for the medium or just the medium such as acrylic?
As always, thank you for your input!!

Hi Ann, 500 characters is the maximum allowed. No word count. size in cm ( pref). All artworks should be made by the student! The description of the medium is an opportunity to state the materials used and also if there are any found or repurposed objects etc.

Hi Heather. I cannot reach the page for "the Art Words List" I have tried several times.
Also I did not know that a page here could be shared. This would help my class if you can do it
