Chapter 4 Recap

    Critiques and portfolio reviews come with the presentation of projects. We previously learned planning, coordination, and vision are the components for developing work. Now we're going to focus on the stages. We're about to explore one of the final stages of making an art project, portfolio review. This is where chapter 4 come in. 

    The completion of a project  marks the beginning of the project's journey. That is, where the work is displayed and who sees the work. Portfolio reviews are an excellent way of presenting work. They allow peers to identify any given project's underlying weaknesses and strengths. These reviews also provide exposure to the work. Thus, expanding the project's coverage. Things worth considering for a portfolio review include the following: paper, image size, presentation of the work, lasting affects of your presentation, and the follow up. 

    As artists, we can't just think about the development of a work. We must also consider what will come after the work is done. Where will the work go? Who will see the work? What strengths and weaknesses were drawn from the work? Thinking back to our projects, that is something we have to consider. We want to have our work put out there. In order to do that, we eventually have to go through a portfolio review. How? From the information that was presented in chapter 4.
