Each Concentration student is required to maintain a Foxcroft Digital Portfolio detailing important Concentration-related coursework, projects, and internships. Make sure your Digital Portfolio is shared with your Concentration Mentor and Fine Arts Department Chair when you create it. Mentors will check your progress each school year, and portfolios will be evaluated at the end of the senior year with your artist talk and presentation of your Senior One Woman Show or Senior Solo Performance/Project.
HOW TO SETUP YOUR FOXCROFT DIGITAL PORTFOLIO FOR CONCENTRATION STUDIES
Home
Treat this like an autobiography to introduce yourself - See Template
Resume - See Sample
Beneath the EXPERIENCE section on your resume, you should have the most details outlining the following:
Internships, trips, and service projects
Any internships must have a completed Internship Log accompanying them. For trips or service projects, use the same format to log your hours and any progress you made.
For each section, complete a reflection on what you learned or gained from the experience, including photos if possible.
Club leadership/membership
Detail what you did with the club and highlight your contributions, including photos if possible.
Fine Arts Courses
Include a separate page for each of the media you approached in your time at Foxcroft. Remember for your concentration you are required to have at least two different areas within the arts represented in your course selections.
Each course should include a drop down for pages outlining your Portfolio and Research connected to that media. Add pictures, descriptions, and/or links to any particularly meaningful projects or assignments that relate to work you created or used as inspiration as you develop your portfolio.
Portfolio
Only include your most professional and creative work - filter out unsuccessful or incomplete work at the start of each semester.
Additional sub pages can outline certain aspects of your portfolio. Ex: Photography > Portfolio > Still Life, Portraiture, Landscape, Nature, Architecture, Photojournalism.
Research
Include artist inspiration with captions connected to every image (author, title, year) and a source with all of your research (hyperlinks are acceptable).
Also, additional sub pages can outline your research focus. For example: Photography > Research > Photographer's Name, Career Field, Photography Genre,..etc
FIne Arts Concentration
This page will be dedicated to your quarterly reflections. You can write about your progress in the Concentration, any challenges you encountered, and what you have learned. During your junior year, you will prepare a project proposal draft for your Senior One Woman Show. (Follow Links Below)
Reflect of your specific accomplishments in both portfolio and research development within your concentration area. Be sure each statement is dated.
Your mentor will read your reflections and incorporate them into his or her quarterly Concentration comments.
Senior One Woman Show or Senior Solo Performance/Project
You should devote at least one page to your final exhibit as a graduating senior. Together with your mentor, you will determine an appropriate selection of work and thematic approach to your display.
You will create promotional materials to advertise your exhibit and write a detailed artist statement outlining your creative process.
The final step will be preparing an artist talk about your One Woman Art Exhibit, which will also need to be posted on this page. Link to the Concentration Rubric for easy access.
Other pages: Feel free to create additional pages linked to other coursework or noteworthy information about your experiences.
NOTE: On your Google Drive, you should create a folder named LASTNAME Foxcroft Digital Portfolio where you need to move this Google Site and also store all of the relevant images and documents that are uploaded here. Please share this folder with the concentration coordinator (julie.fisher@foxcroft.org) and you mentor.
