Portfolio Prep

In this capstone course for seniors, students will generate and document a comprehensive portfolio of artwork for application to colleges or personal development. This portfolio will reflect the student’s skills, artistic practices, and interests. Students are required to keep a sketchbook documenting their research, experimentation, and artistic processes throughout the year.  Introductory professional practice is addressed, and building students’ knowledge of contemporary art and personal artistic references is essential to this course. Each student will complete a Senior Thesis Project. This collection of artworks reflects a sustained investigation in which a particular artistic concern is investigated through four to six artworks and presented to the community in the spring.
