Building a Compelling Art Portfolio

Description:
This course guides students through the process of developing a strong, personalized portfolio for academic, professional, and residency applications. Students will learn how to present their artistic work with clarity, coherence, and confidence—in both digital and print formats. The course includes the analysis of successful (and less effective) portfolios, practical assignments, peer feedback, and final presentations.

Learning:
By the end of this course, students will be able to:

  • Understand the components and structure of a strong art portfolio.

  • Reflect on and articulate their artistic practice through text and visuals.

  • Professionally photograph, edit, and document their work.

  • Design a portfolio layout that aligns with their artistic identity.

  • Understand and apply typography effectively.

  • Differentiate between effective and ineffective presentation strategies.

  • Develop a complete, submission-ready portfolio tailored to a specific application.
