It is useful for you as a student to be able to edit the portfolio so that it shows off the best of your abilities and shows how you work through ideas, overcome challengesand go about exploring visual ideas. It is also useful for assessors to see your progress and if you would be suitable to start a degree course.  \nWhat Assessors of your portfolio are looking for:  \n1. Visual Research and Enquiry  \nHow well you communicate your ideas, and that you are fully engaged in your work. That you are curious about the visual world and you work through your ideas in an intelligent way.  \n2. Idea Development  \nYour ability to explore and develop ideas and your level of skill in the use of materials and techniques.  \n3. Selection and Resolution  \nHow well you judge which ideas have the most possibilities and how you complete your projects successfully.  \n4. Contextual Awareness  \nYour knowledge of the subject you have applied for and how your work relates to it.  \nWhat makes up a portfolio?  \nYou should include sketches, drawings, images of your work being developed at different stages (these can also be photographs, audio and video) and completed projects that show how you approach an idea, then develop it into completed work. You should show your experiments and any research that led up to the finished work. These can be drawings (studies), 3-D models (photographed from different angles), photos and videos. You can also include brief written notes on each project.  \nA range of approaches to drawing  \nAssessors looking at your portfolio will want to see a range of drawing methods in different materials, for example, pen, ink, wash, these can be quick sketches and/or longer studies through observing your surroundings, indoors and outdoors is a good way to begin a drawing project. Digital methods (using creative software programmes on your computer or laptop such as Adobe Photoshop) can be shown next to more traditional drawing methods to show how you use different ways of working with the same idea.  \nSketchbook Images  \nInclude photographs of selected pages of your sketchbooks in your portfolio.  \nFor guidance on the use of sketchbooks, see: Pebble+ Public ([pebblepad.co.uk](pebblepad.co.uk))  \nYour use of different materials and techniques  \nInclude how you use different art and design materials in your portfolio. Your sketches and experimental work should show off your creativity with different materials. A study of the different kinds of art and design materials should be included, along with the methods that are needed to use them correctly.  \nA sequence of images that reveal your visual discoveries  \nIn Art and Design, learning comes from making. It is important to show this in your portfolio by including your experiments with different materials and the methods for applying them. This also includes different approaches to the subject. For example, showing the same subject in daylight and at night. Assessors will want to see how you have gone from one stage to the next, so show these sequences in your portfolio.  \nEach stage is a different ‘thought’ about the material, technique or idea.  \nEvidence of how you have developed a visual language through research, experimentation and reflection  \nYou can use the sentences below to help you to put your portfolio together:  \nWhat are your interests and influences?  \nCan you think of an artist or designer whose work you like that has been a major ","cbCaiqJ4M0jg3gdq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqJ4M0jg3gdq","pdf",10886164,11,"English","# Making an Application\n## What is a portfolio?\n## Why is it important?\n## What Assessors of your portfolio are looking for\n## What makes up a portfolio?\n## A range of approaches to drawing\n## Sketchbook Images\n## Your use of different materials and techniques\n## A sequence of images that reveal your visual discoveries\n## Evidence of how you have developed a visual language\n## Resolved work\n## Reflective writing","[{\"question\":\"What is a portfolio for an art and design undergraduate application?\",\"answer\":\"A portfolio is a collection of creative work that shows skills, research and development of project ideas, completed work, and written reflection about the projects.\"},{\"question\":\"Which areas will assessors evaluate in a portfolio?\",\"answer\":\"Assessors look for visual research and enquiry, idea development, selection and resolution, and contextual awareness—how your work relates to the subject you applied for.\"},{\"question\":\"What should be included in the portfolio besides finished projects?\",\"answer\":\"Include sketches, drawings, developing images at different stages (including photos/audio/video), studies, 3-D models photographed from different angles, experiments, research evidence, and brief written notes for each project.\"}]","Making an Application - IFP Introduction to Art and Design Practice | PDF",28]
