| Portfolio
Preparation This portfolio is very important for documenting growth, development and progress in your artwork over a period of three to four years. Art schools and colleges look favorably on students that show assessment through portfolio presentation. You may bring it with you when you visit schools, attend National Portfolio Days to supplement your portfolio of artwork. Presenting your work in a professional manner will set you apart from other students applying to art schools and universities! ( Everyone will have a portfolio, but a binder with the following will really make you stand out from the crowd! ).
