This lecture is delivered in person by Sonia Nicolson and gives an explanation of what an Art & Design Portfolio is, and how it is used in an interview. It is designed with students applying to University or Art Colleges in mind.

We start by introducing the idea of a portfolio and then give an overview of the expected content of a student’s portfolio, focussing on each subject within Art and Design at University and/or Art College level. We share tips on editing, styling, layout, and the best way to present work.

The lecture ends with a discussion on how to submit or exhibit work and gives examples and links to the best portfolio websites used in the industry.

Lecture size: max 60 students (depending on the room)

Speaking time: 45-60mins

Please note: All workshops are best delivered in person, but can be carried out on Zoom
