Morgan Robinson

Morgan Robinson is a student at my college currently in the last year of Art and Design, she is going to do Photography at Edinburgh college at the end of summer.
At the exhibition, Morgan created a tiny little room thing, printed photos on acitate, hung them up and got people to use a torch to project them onto the wall.
The photographs i was able to.. well photograph were just things in her portfolio that she took to the interview.

With having this portfolio papre based I could really see the quality of the photos..

 

Bethany ... - portfolio

Bethany is a student at Edinburgh University doing textiles, she has just about finished her first year and has applied for her second year. She showed us the portfolio that she would be showing in her interview. she showed a mixture of techniques in the portfolio with inks and stuff.
It was a lot better having her portfolio in front of us as you could really differentiate the quality of materials used i think.

Charlotte Miller - portfolio

Charlotte Miller is in the last year of my college course and is about to go to University. She works on a huge scale that covers almost the majority of the classroom floor. Her work is very abstract and colourful.
I dont think a digital portfolio for Charlotte would do her work full justice as having it right in front of you, you can see the full size of the art. You could find a tiny picture of a painting online but when you view it it would be massive.

Caitlin Steele - portfolio

Caitlin Steele is a fashion student at Heriot Watt University who previously done the BTEC art and design course that I'm currently doing. She came to present her paper based portfolio to our class. The portfolio was photographs of her work from this year and the year before, she told us that she isn't allowed any work in her portfolio that is more than 2 years old so she has to change some regularly.

She told us this last one was made completely out of recycled material (rubbish)

Audra Auclair -portfolio

Audra Auclair is from Canada and has been exhibited both local to her and in other parts of america alongside Australia. She has a degree for Graphic Design but spends her time exploring the female form using fine art. 

She is also on Youtube and has an online store/gallery.  

Showing your portfolio online is extremely helpful, you can access it where ever you are for example an interview.

Greg Simkins - portfolio

Greg was born in 1975 in California and started drawing when he was 3 and was inspired by cartoon characters.Greg's art continued to progress to the age of 18, when he started doing graffiti under the name “CRAOLA”. He has a series of speed paintings painting's and has his website http://www.imscared.com/

Greg's website is easy to navigate, and very well laid out. You can easily and quickly see his work from where ever you are with internet access. It has sub headings when you hover over any of the categories in it so that you can find specific things such as drawings, paintings and graffiti on the Gallery section. The shop section is also cut into prints, originals, merch etc, which I find is pretty cool.

Cara Gates - Portfolio

Cara is a member of my college class, she is extremely talented and I've admired her wok all through the year. She is 18 years old, doing the same course as me - BTEC Art and Design Level 2, she would like to either be an illustrator, photographer,painter, or possibly a designer but shes not sure.

She brought in her paper based portfolio for some of us to look at.

The benefits of having a paper based portfolio are that you can easily see the quality of media used and the quality of the paper/canvas. 

The disadvantages, however are that you can't access them instantly and not everyone will see it.
