Portfolio Requirements for Gifted and Talented

At the end of this school year, the students who have been selected to participate in the talent pool for G.T. will be expected to produce an art portfolio with the following pieces represented. They are working weekly on this ongoing project when they come to the art enrichment class on Tuesdays, where they can receive help and ideas with their work. Obviously, they will not be able to complete the portfolio by working at school alone. I am encouraging them to get started on pieces at school and then take them home to complete, if possible. Listed below are the requirements:

The Portfolio must incluce 6 total pieces of art demonstrating creativity, passion and skill.

Subject matter: ( Choose two of the following)
Realistic Portrait

Realistic Still-Life

Must include:
One abstract from imagination or dream-like
One Non-Objective (using art elements and principals, no recognizable objects)

Must include:
Two personal choices

The personal choices may include: photography, weaving, sculpture, or applique')
The personal choices may be realistic or abstract.

Process:
Must include
One drawing in pencil
One drawing in color such as: crayon, colored pencil, oil pastel or chalk
One painting in watercolor or acrylic
The other three processes may be personal choices

Artwork should be original, imaginative and different products created from real like observation; however, if the artwork is a reproduction of a photograph, magazine picture, post card or other printed material, a copy of it must be attached along with your finished artwork.

Unacceptable artwork includes:
Comic books (copied)
Logo designs (copied or reproductions)
Artwork on regular notebook paper
