Tell a story or create a sense of narrative based on one of the themes below
Be made up of either:
-Five individual images, or
-Three (or more) composite images combining multiple photos (e.g. photomontage or digital layering)Use the AIMMEE elements to enhance meaning and create cohesion across your series
The Themes
The Themes
Each of the theme titles is also a link to inspiration to get you started.
Capture images that evoke a sense of nostalgia, exploring how memory and the past shape your present and future.
Consider what images represent being isolated or connected. Do they feel positive or negative? Could your series transition from one to the other?
Explore the concept of identity, community or connection. You could consider how people find their identity in interests, culture or location.

AI Check
This portfolio task is designed to assess YOUR thoughts, YOUR skills, and YOUR understanding. While AI can be a helpful tool, it must be used appropriately and transparently.
❌ How AI CANNOT Be Used:
AI must not generate your final images, artist statement, or annotations.
AI must not replace your own research, idea development, or analysis.
AI must not be used to write any part of your personal reflection or portfolio documentation.
✅ How AI CAN Be Used:
Research & Inspiration: You may use AI-generated images as part of your mood board but must acknowledge their use in your reflection.
Project Planning: AI can assist with structuring a timeline or checklist, but you must adapt it to your own workflow.
Idea Generation: AI may help brainstorm concepts, but you should refine these ideas yourself and reference them.
🔎 Transparency & Acknowledgement:
If you use AI in your project, you must:
Explain how you used AI in your written reflection.
Include screenshots of any AI-generated content in an appendix.
Cite any AI-generated images in your references.
🚨 Consequences of Misuse:
If AI is used in ways not permitted, it will be treated as plagiarism. This may result in:
A score deduction, non-submission, or a required redo of the task.
A Sentral record of AI misuse, which applies across all of your class subjects.
A meeting with executive staff if AI misuse occurs in multiple tasks, potentially affecting your course completion (e.g. V grade).
Use AI responsibly, as a tool—not a shortcut. Your originality and understanding are what matter most in this portfolio. To learn more about use of AI, view this link.
