The artist was kind enough to show us her portfolio and how she managed to create it. She used this portfolio to apply for Fine art, Sculpture and Environmental art at a university. It took her 3 days to get choose which pieces of art would be going into the portfolio and an afternoon to compose them and all the work has been chosen from the past 2 years.
The portfolio itself is very well presented in the ways that its all
laid out on A1 card with all the artwork accurately measured to be
situated in the center, with an obvious attention to detail, cleanliness
and neatness.
Even though some of her work looks cluttered at first; examining it thoroughly shows that everything has been composed to reflect on each other and keep the viewer intrigued, e.g starting off with a strong piece of work, varying the intensity of emotion that emits from each piece to create diversity; finally ending with another strong piece. In this sense even though the artworks separate; one can almost interpret the entire portfolio to be a singular piece of artwork.
I noticed seeing the artwork in real life was a lot more interesting and informative. The way the piece was constructed and carefully done. The thickness of lines in the pencil drawing, texture, faint markings and tone were all incredibly more clear to see.
Since the portfolio has been laid out by hand it shows the viewer that the artist has personally taken the time to pick out and carefully present her artwork to show her capabilities. It contains mostly edited photographs; most of which involve the artist herself which add an extra sense of expressiveness, which looks brilliant in a portfolio looking to apply for a degree course in a university.
