THE ART OF BLOGGING with Instructor Takeyce Walter

To be held in the Holden Room at Crandall Public Library
This workshop will educate artists in creating an online presence through a web log, or a “blog”.  Students will learn the history of blogs, how to get started, and how their use will assist in marketing artwork.   The instructor will provide resources that are available in the development and creation of a blog and discuss the benefits of a blog.  Participants should be comfortable working with a computer.  While the workshop focuses on art, anyone interested in learning about blogs is welcome to attend.  Handouts will be provided.

Takeyce, who resides in upstate New York, has her work in private collections, locally, nationally, and internationally.  More on Takeyce & blogging:  takeyceart.com/blog
