Important to any Artist!
What is an Art Portfolio?
Basics of the Art Portfolio
As discussed in the previous activity, the ideas you come up with in your art journal can become the inspiration for larger works, and these works can go into your art portfolio.
This will involve some decision making on your part, based on the purpose of the portfolio. Portfolios are usually prepared for a specific purpose, for example, for entry into the workplace or for entry into a post-secondary institution. Set your own guidelines for the selection of content. If the portfolio is to be judged, consider the criteria by which it will be judged. Find mentors with whom you can discuss your portfolio.
mentors: trusted advisers knowledgeable in field
Introduce yourself in the portfolio. Highlight your innovative ideas, your creative abilities, your ability to work in a team, your ability to manage your learning, and other skills that you have developed.
Once your project work has been completed, it is important to include your best work in your art portfolio. This work is evidence of the type and quality of work you are capable of doing. The work in the art portfolio can be reorganized depending upon how you intend to use the portfolio; for example, when applying to a post-secondary institution or when applying for a job.
