This course follows a self-directed model. Students look toward their career aspirations and potential future clients. Group and individual critiques will help students to determine which pieces from previous semesters might form the beginnings of a portfolio. Over the semester students produce 6-8 new pieces to fill gaps and add richness to the collection. This course is designed to align with the Professional Practice class. Students are essentially establishing their small businesses. Students will create a portfolio website and promotional material. The work from Portfolio and Thesis courses will eventually be incorporated into a student's Senior Show exhibited in their final semester.
