Choosing artists for public commissions based on competition is very similar to our current job market, where there are often more candidates than jobs available. I know as college students, job hunting is forefront in your mind! Think about how you are working to become a strong candidate in your field to compete in this challenging job market, and compare some of your experiences with what you think this Renaissance artist went through. Based on the artwork, do you think the best candidate got the job? Why or why not? Do you have insight on what this process feels like, and did you learn anything in that process?
