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.
