How to prepare the best-looking art portfolio?

An art portfolio serves to showcase your artworks, interests and progression throughout your journey. To prepare the best portfolio, come prepared with the following:

Explain about your work

• How it all began?
• What inspired you to start, do, and finish this piece of work?
• What were you trying to achieve?

Demonstrate a build-up process

• Don’t just show your finished product
• How did you develop your ideas from the beginning?
• Include evidence that inspires your conceptual and technical thinking, which includes sketches and research
• Don’t be afraid to display unsuccessful ideas as it may reflect on your willingness to experiment, risk-taking and so on

Display your skills and capabilities

• It is important to include a range of works that demonstrate your technical skills and ability to handle different techniques
• Must also include your breakdown of the design process in order to prove the comprehension of your personal annotations and artistic impression

Update your portfolio with a present project

• Present projects would best reflect your most up-to-date capability
• Previous projects would offer the best comparison and reflection of how your work has progressed from past to present
