What is the purpose of HEArt?
HEArts' purpose is to help students build online portfolios without the hassle of having to construct their own websites from scratch. A website is considered crucial in today’s creative world, but there aren’t many opportunities that truly teach young creatives how to go about this process. We’re here to make this easier!
By working as a collective, we allow students to have a place where they can share their art, put posts onto our public blog as a call for collaboration, promote projects or real-life exhibitions, and soon we’ll be adding a way for them to sell their work and start building a source of income through their art.
We also function as a search engine; when students tag their work (photography; landscape, portraiture, etc), other users will be able to search these tags in order to find fellow creatives to collaborate with.
