Poster Board Portfolio

              Poster BoardArtist Portfolio (To store Artwork) 

 

All students k-12 are asked to bring in one piece of poster board. Poster board can be found at any Walgreens, Wal-Mart, CVS, or the Dollar Store.

A standard size piece of poster board measures 22"x28" and is a dollar or less (not to be confused with foam board or cardboard.) The students may choose any color poster board. Students should have their name on the poster board and can drop them off at the art room after school or during their art class.

We will make an artist portfolio in class. An artist portfolio is a folder that artist use to store their artwork. Students will bring this folder home at the end of the year with their artwork in it. I have included images of the poster board and the portfolio we make in class. If you have any questions please email me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
