Autism Art Expo

While we are happy to tweak artwork that is submitted to make sure it is displayed in the most accurate and polished way possible, there are some things you can do to make you artwork look its best.

For non-photographers, the following tips may help you:

• Use a camera or cell phone that takes good pictures.
• Make sure the place where you are taking pictures has plenty of light.
• Adjust the location of the artwork and the camera so that there are no shadows or light glares showing up in the photo.
• Take pictures as close to straight-ahead as you can, instead of at an angle.
• Try placing the artwork flat on the ground and standing above it if you have trouble with the artwork leaning against the wall.
• If you have drawings and access to a photo/document scanner, this is also a good way to capture the art. Make sure the settings are on “photo” and “high resolution.”

If you would like to submit more than 3 pieces of art, you can do so by:

• Uploading all artwork to a Google Drive folder
• You can categorize different artists’ work into separate folders within a larger, group folder
• Change the name of each artist’s folder or document to their full name (or first name with last initial) and title of their artwork
• Share the editable link with us by email to HANDSart@iu.edu

If you are not sure how to do any of this, please let us know by email and we will assist where needed!
