2018 Certification Designs
Your Certification Options
Congratulations to all who passed their ADP, CDA, or MDA levels; you have worked hard to achieve this goal. Please know all entries are judged as a number with no name attached. None of the judges know whose entry
they are judging. We work hard to keep the testing extremely fair and unbiased. If you submitted a board but did not pass this time around, please study your critique and read it with an open mind. The critiques are written to help you under- stand your strengths and weaknesses with the requirements of this test. The judges are answering questions on the critique form, and encouraging you to study where needed. Finishing and submitting your final painting is a huge accomplishment and one to be proud of.
Each year at Conference the judges will sit down with the applicants to help them understand their critique and answer questions. Since not all applicants can go to Confer- ence you can arrange a Skype conference call with one of the judges. Check out SDP’s website in the Certification section for information on how to set up a conference call, or you can contact me.
The Certification committee is gearing up for a new year and brainstorming ideas to help you succeed. We welcome your feedback. Please join us on our Facebook group page at SDP/ADP/CDA/MDA Quest for Excellence, where you can learn and grow as an independent artist.
Interested in entering next year? You can view the new 2018 Certification designs on the SDP website in the Certification section where you can also purchase portfolios and surfaces.
I look forward to another year of chairing the Certifica- tion program. I’m just an e-mail away if you have questions or suggestions. suepruett@artapprenticeonline.com
