A
Student Example of
the Development of a Portfolio
Putting together a body of work to represent your technical and creative accomplishments in the form of a portfolio is an advantage to art students.
Even if you are not planning to pursue art in
your further education, the things that you have created tend to have
increasing
significance over the years, not only to your self, but to your
family members.
For those students who plan on attending an art school in the future, a portfolio is an essential tool.
It will be a necessary addition to your
school marks,
for admission and a good idea to
start to put together your best
work in Art10 and plan for portfolio
pieces throughout your art
training.
In math, on the basis of your marks alone, you can gain entrance into higher level schools and courses.
With art, in many schools,
your portfolio
is at
least as important as your art mark and in some cases more important.
It is good to start early so you, and others, can see your skills develop in your work.
In most
cases a demonstration of developed skills
and understanding
of lines,
values, color, design, dimension,
an overall demonstration of creativity,
or original thinking and 'other',
being other media or your areas of
specialty or interest.
