Portfolio Development


The second application of authentic assessment that is easily incorporated into an art education program is portfolio preparation. Beattie (1997) defines a portfolio as being a “purposeful collection of student work that tells a story of the student’s efforts, progress, or achievement in (a) given area(s)”. The use of a portfolio motivates and challenges students to reflect and communicate their ideas to not only their art teacher, but to admission administrators from institutes of higher learning.
