Instructions for your portfolio

Guidelines for portfolio

 A portfolio is generally understood as a collection of various material and work done by you during the course. With a portfolio you will document your skills and achievements and also to help you to reflect on what you have accomplished. In your portfolio you will collect a variety of products, documents, presentations, spreadsheets, photos, artwork, mind maps, etc. In other words, in your portfolio you will collect all your material that you have produced up until Kunstenniemi. 

 

A portfolio can be in the form of a physical collection of your work, but it can also be in electronic form, for instance as a blog. You need to either hand in, or make your portfolio available to the coaches before you arrive at Kunstenniemi, otherwise you will not be allowed to take part in the intensive days at Kunstenniemi.

One tip from us coaches is that you collect all your material in the blog, you can even make the blog your portfolio.
