Navigation: When the Home page is shown you can display an art piece by simply clicking on it's name (if collapsed, click the section header to expand the section). You can narrow down selections by clicking menu choices at the top:

• Thumbnails: Complete list of all art pieces organized by year and semester showing miniturized thumbnail images of each piece. Simply click on the thumbnail to display it full size.
• 2014: Oil paintings completed in 2014.

• 2018: Watecolor paintings completed in 2018 (some acrylic).
• 2017 and 2018 also include "sketchbook" pieces done in pencil, ink and watercolor. Sketchbook is for practice outside of class and are not considered "art pieces" nor candidates for final portfolios.

Links: There are also links you can click at the top of the Home page and on the art piece display pages that facilitate navigation.

These links are at the top left:

• Fwd: Click the Forward button to return to the screen where you clicked the Back button. Fwd only works if the Back button has been clicked.
• First: Takes you to RJA's first art piece: 0001.

These links are at the top right depending on context:

• Prev: Takes you to the previous art piece in the numerical sequence.
• Next: Takes you to the next art piece in the numerical sequence.
• Prev Oil: Takes you to the previous oil painting in the numerical sequence.
• Next Oil: Takes you to the next oil painting in the numerical sequence.

Note: The Prev/Next medium links are context sensitive and only appear when you are displaying an art piece of that medium.

Naming: Each art piece has a name. Those with the same name also include a number. For example, "Red Butte Gardens 07" is the 7th painting using photos RJA took while at Red Butte Gardens in 2016.

Numbering: Each art piece has a sequential number, in the order created, which is shown at the top of the screen. There have been over 300 art pieces created since RJA started in 2014. A second sequential number is assigned by art medium type. For example, 0056, "Bees and Flowers" is RJA's "6th" Watercolor painting.

Collapsible Sections: On the Home, Thumbnails, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 screens the art pieces are organized by Year/Semester. Simply click on the section header (where it shows year/semester) to collapse or expand the section. It saves your choice and will display the screen accordingly when you return.

Source: When an art piece is displayed it also shows the source, on the right:

• Objects by Instructor: Still-life objects provided by instructor, in class.
• Objects by RJA: Still-life objects provided by RJA, in studio or on site.
• Demo by Instr: In-class demo by art class instructor.
• Photograph: From photograph taken by RJA.
• Drawing: From another drawing.

• Mental Image: Created new from a mental image.
• Inside Building Indoors, on site, looking at subject.

Original: When an art piece is displayed it may also show a photograph of the original or source from which the piece was created. These may not always match exactly as RJA took liberties to change color, content, and arrangement.

Sketches: Pencil Sketches, Ink-Pen Sketches, and Watercolor Sketches. Sketches are studies or simple images on white background, usually done in a "Sketch Book". Sketches were turned in 2 or 3 per week and were not candidates for the final portfolio.
