![]() |
When we think of what you should put in your Art Portfolio we think of Still Lifes, Observational Drawings, Portraits, Landscapes/Cityscapes and Self Portraits. To include examples of each of those types of work in your Art Portfolio is important, another type of work you can add to your portfolio is Language art or text-based art, which is art that incorporates language in some way such as spoken word, poetry, written statements or alphabetical or numerical symbols.
At the end of the video- Check out a clip of an Ashcan Art student project titled “Voice” Its a sculpture is made up of the faces of some of their favorite queer activists who have helped them understand themself and others better. When a hand hovers above one of the faces it triggers an audio clip from that activist to play. They speak about their experiences growing up queer and what they learned about their place in the world/society at large.
