Art Portfolio Requirements for Students
Art Portfolio Requirements for Students
An art portfolio is a small, representative collection of an artist's current or recent work. The art portfolio plays an important role in the art school admission review process by identifying the skills, abilities, and potential of the student.
Student portfolios intended for art school admission review are quite different from portfolios of working artists. Working artists' portfolios are highly focused toward the type of job or client being sought, and they generally contain only highly polished works, in order to show a high level of artistic achievement.
Prospective students' portfolios, however, are intended to show the potential of the artist. To this effect, a wider selection of mediums and techniques may be required, as well as works showing the creative process of the artist (i.e. sketches, life drawings, etc.).
An art portfolio has two sets of requirements: content requirements and technical requirements. The content requirements deal with the type of artwork included, while the technical requirements apply to the physical aspects of the artwork.
EXPECTATIONS:
EXPECTATIONS:

Be responsible (bring your work, do your work, hand in your work, etc).
Be ready to begin--at the beginning of class.
Pay attention, participate daily and use your time appropriately.
Have a good attitude.
WHY A SKETCHBOOK
WHY A SKETCHBOOK
An artist’s sketchbook is a bound book with blank pages that artists use to keep visual records of observations, plans for future art projects, ideas and themes with which they are interested, and verbal, often personal, reflections. Artists may incorporate some or all of these uses into their personal sketchbooks in order to best suit their needs as an artist.
“In fact, educators need to do at least three things if they wish to support creativity in their students (Runco 1991b): 1) Provide opportunities for children to practice creative thinking. 2) Value and appreciate those efforts. 3) Model creative behaviors themselves.” (Runco, 2007, p. 179)"
