USA As part of the assessment plan of the Department of Art and Art History, all Art History Majors are required to keep a portfolio on file in the Art Department. The portfolios will be reviewed periodically by all regular faculty members and will be presented by the student to peers and faculty at the annual Art Majors Portfolio Review. To involve students and faculty more deeply in student writing and creative work by broadening the context in which student writing and artwork is received, thereby creating a stronger and more cohesive art community at Willamette University. To provide a means of evaluation of the Art History Major program. In addition, portfolios may be used by faculty members when writing letters of recommendation.
Portfolios are also useful for representing oneself to a potential graduate school or employer.
The portfolios will be kept in a standard file cabinet. Therefore, all submissions should conform to standard letter size. A short one-paragraph introduction to each piece of writing that is submitted explaining your reasons for choosing it and assessing your development as a student and writer of art history. One sample of creative work from each studio class taken. If this work will not fit into a standard file folder, you should make a black and white photograph or a color slide of the work and should submit the photograph or slide in a plastic sleeve.
