What Goes Inside a Portfolio?
Due to the nature of visual art, the number of different media demonstrated is unspecified. Rather, we are looking for evidence of artistic ability as referenced above. A visual arts portfolio must be electronic and must include at least 5 artifacts. Beyond that, some examples of visual art media are:
• Paint, photography, 3-D art, ceramics, drawings, and/or digital art
• Submissions can be annotated to help the review team understand the student’s thinking and process
• Artifacts include: completed pieces, sketchbooks (1 sketchbook = 1 artifact)
• Products should be: Unique and original
• Evidence of state or national ranking in competition/events related to visual art
• Other evidence that may show visual art and/or creative art processes.
• Reach out to your GT Resource Teacher if you have questions about what could be included.
