STUDENT PORTFOLIOS PROS



This year, as an experiment, VLM art students are collecting their artwork in portfolios. My hope is that by seeing artwork over time, our VLM community will enjoy some of these benefits:
  • Reflect on work to see patterns, strengths, and areas where we can  improve
  • Have a greater variety of work to choose from for framing and art shows
  • Get work home more safely along with some information about projects for families  

Please note that work from students K-4th grade will work will go home midyear (just before or just after winter break), with a  second batch going home at the end of the year. 

Per tradition, 5th grader's work will remains in art until the spring, when we choose work for our final 5th grade art exhibit. All work will be returned, along with sketchbooks by year's end.
