Bethany Pringle - Paper Portfolio

This artist was kind enough to show us her portfolio and how she managed to create it. She used this portfolio to apply for the second year of a foundation art and design diploma. It took her around a day to 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 1 year.

The portfolio itself is neat and tidy with the work mounted on the A1 card but looks slightly rough around the edges which could be fixed with a bit more preparation.

Just like the other portfolio this ones has also been composed with every piece in mind when doing so. As like the other portfolio it has the same job which is trying to keep the viewer interested and curious while showing a diversity in their work at the same time. Starting off with a strong piece then fluctuating the intensity of feeling alongside the work and ending on a strong piece again to really leave them stunned.

 I preferred seeing the portfolio in real life due to the fact that seeing it like that up close and just in general gives you such a better insight into the size, pencil/brushstrokes and any other detail that might otherwise remain unknown to somebody viewing it online.

 The fact that she has took the time to organize all this herself shows the interviewers that she is prepared to work hard and organize her work to show all of her capabilities. Like I stated before she has a very diverse range of work to prove that she is no stranger to many methods or mediums. I think this is a very good portfolio which the interviewers will certainly take seriously.
