Students will learn what it takes to have a good portfolio for college entrance. In class, we will analyze what makes a balanced portfolio that demonstrates college readiness. Students will be supported through the process of framing an artistic investigation, selecting artworks, digital documentation, image formatting, sequencing, titling, and writing an artist statement. Students must have artwork to build a portfolio. In this class students may realize gaps in their work which will require the creation of new work but creating new work is not what this class is about. Although there is no work required outside of class, students may want to continue studio practice outside of class to work on their portfolio project. This class is repeatable as long as the student is interested in ongoing support to build their portfolio. Week 1- Introduction to the Art Portfolio 2- Selecting Work + Preparing Images 3- Layout + Upload 4- Online Portfolio Presentation

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have experience working in a college-preparatory school where my students went on to be studio art, industrial design, architecture, engineering, medical, and science majors in college. In addition to teaching AP Studio Art, I advised students throughout the application journey even when art was not the intended major. Students are wise to demonstrate the breadth of their high school experience and the addition of a portfolio is an excellent way to achieve it. For the art majors, writing the artist statement is often the most difficult part of the process. We can help with that.Reviews
