What is the Process Portfolio?

The Process Portfolio is a collection of evidence of your development as an artist, not the finished work. The PP is a collection of carefully selected materials which document the students experimentation, exploration, manipulation and development of a variety of visual arts activities during the two-year course.

While you compile your Process Portfolio at the end of the course, you will be documenting and creating it throughout your two years in the program.

The PP is uploaded for digital assessment as a PDF and viewed by the examiner on screen, favoring a landscape format. Some students will create their PP on a digital platform, others will scan journal pages, and most will do a combination of both.

How is the Process Portfolio assessed?

The Process Portfolio, or PP, is 40 % of the final mark and it is the testimony of the student's artistic journey during the course.
