National Art Society https://nationalartsociety.com Artist Community & Portfolio Center Thu, 02 Aug 2018 12:37:02 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.6.13 Getting Started Guide https://nationalartsociety.com/2018/07/28/getting-started-guide/ Sat, 28 Jul 2018 15:58:43 +0000 https://nationalartsociety.com/?p=1 Welcome to the National Art Society getting started guide!
Within this guide we will discuss the different ways you can interact with this NAS site and utilize the tools to interact with other artists here and hopefully have some fun as well.

Uploading Portfolios

One of the biggest draws of the nationalartsociety.com is the freedom you have to upload and store your artwork here. Our main portfolio page showcases the different ways we display portfolios submitted by the community. As you can see, you are able to view and sort the list of portfolios in various ways. Feel free to use this space as a way to show your artwork to others or inspire yourself for your next great showcase piece. Adding portfolios to the site (we refer to them as projects) is a simple 3 step process. Name your portfolio, add your images, add your tags, and save. Nothing complicated and your portfolio will be available for you to add or edit at any time..

Works In Progress & Collections

Don’t be shy about sharing your work, even when it’s not finished. If you have an in-completed piece of art you would love to share, add it to the site as a WIP! A WIP stands for Work In Progress and our site tools will allow you to upload unfinished art work to your portfolio with revisions. Revisions can be thought of as stages. As you upload your unfinished piece the site will store the images together as one with revisions so community members can see the progress of your work from start to finish!

Collections are an easy way to keep track of artwork you see around the site that you enjoy. Collections can be thought of as your pwn personal bookmarks. As you browse different portfolios of other artists, you are able to make a personal collections so you know how to get back to the art you love easily.

Discussion Forums and Groups

Our groups and forums sections of the national art society are great places to meet new community members and start discussions on artist relevant topics. Weather you are looking for feedback on your work or wondering how to ship that oversized item our mods and community members are here to help and make you feel welcome. After you have registered, please come to the Member Introduction Forum and introduce yourself to the community!

More To Come

Keep checking back as our launch month cotinues. This guide will be updated throughout this month to help explain the site and tools to new members. Thank you for visiting and please enjoy your stay!

Community Guidelines https://nationalartsociety.com/2018/07/20/hello/ Fri, 20 Jul 2018 23:25:45 +0000 https://nationalartsociety.com/?p=686

We’ve put together a set of community guidelines that we believe will help you get the maximum enjoyment from the National Art Society.
Our goal is to ensure that these set of guidelines are easy to understand and easy to follow.

We hope our site becomes a safe space for artists to interact with and grow together. Like any community, we do need to have some basic rules to help keep conversations smooth and the atmosphere fun and professional.

Keep it civil aka don’t be a jerk

We’re going to get into the thick of a lot of discussions and that’s okay. These discussions often entail topics that we all personally care a lot about and will passionately defend. But in order for discussions to thrive here, we need to remember to criticize ideas or critique artwork … do not attack people.

So, remember to avoid:

  • name-calling
  • ad hominem attacks
  • Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content.
  • knee-jerk contradiction

Comments that we find to be hateful, inflammatory, or harassing may be removed. If you don’t have something nice to say about another user, don’t say it. Treat others the way you’d like to be treated.

Always strive to add value to every interaction and discussion you participate in

There are a lot of discussions that happen every day on National Art Society. Before joining in a discussion, browse through some of the most recent and active discussions happening in the community, especially if you’re new here.

Keep it tidy

Help make moderators’ lives easier by taking a moment to ensure that what you’re about to post is in the right place. That means:

  • don’t post off-topic comments or discussions: check the forum topics page to find the appropriate forum for your topic
  • don’t cross-post the same art multiple times.
  • check if another active discussion on your topic has already been posted

If you see something, say something

Moderators are at the forefront of combatting spam, mediating disputes and enforcing community guidelines and, so are you.

If you see an issue, contact the moderators if possible or flag any comments for review. If you believe someone has violated the Basic Rules, report it to us by flagging the user’s profile.
