Student Gallery

Student Gallery Images

Student artwork is presented in each of the college's undergraduate and graduate programs. To ensure the best images of student work are uploaded to the site, all images are curated only by a faculty member or program manager who uploads the images directly or sends to the web editor using the CCA Dropbox option (address the submission to jnorrena@cca.edu) or, if the file size exceeds 100MB, send a CD/DVD via interoffice mail.

While more than one person within a program can serve in the curatorial process, each person must be set up with this specific role in order to upload images.

(Any student work submitted directly to Communications will be returned to the corresponding program content manager for approval. Remember: Student work represents the college program, so it's essential all uploaded or submitted work is approved.)

When compiling images, create separate folders for each student, naming the folder with student's first initial + last name (all lowercase), like this:

• Always check to see if the images you're sending already exist in the student gallery.
• Give each file a unique name (it does not have to be descriptive, but it certainly can be).
• Submit 2–4 images of work per student, selecting only the best work from the most effective representative pool of students to market the program.

Image Index

An accompanying image/caption index containing artist's name, title and year of work, medium, and dimensions is required for each image. CCA is firmly committed to crediting all artwork promoted on the website, yet the Communications staff cannot research this vital information for the thousands of images we handle in any given academic term.

No artwork will post to the website without proper sourcing, crediting, and identification.

Be sure when compiling your image index (see below) that you cross reference the file name with the corresponding image information:
