Unit 9 · Project 3Final Project
Final Portfolio + Art Show Submission
Finalize your portfolio and submit selected work for the end-of-year art show.
The final portfolio is the culmination of the entire year. Select your best work from all 9 units, refine your portfolio webpage based on feedback from the practice version, write your full portfolio artist statement, and prepare your physical work for the art show. The art show submission requires work to be properly matted, labeled, and delivered according to show requirements. This is your professional debut — treat it accordingly.
