Portfolio Building
Your online portfolio will be a place for you to present your work. It's also a public representation of yourself, and our school! Please make sure you are posting and sharing school appropriate imagery and posts. Do NOT share personal information such as address, date of birth, or other personal information. |
Getting Started |
- Go to Weebly.com and create an account using your school email.
- Your web address is the first part of your district email. Example: xxxxx000.weebly.com

Finals Week! ! ! You've Got This.
- Please go to Google Classroom and turn in your Art Show submission. I will be notifying students who's work is selected for final submission to the district show. This is due in the first 15 minutes of class.
- Submit an Artist Statement for your art show submission, on Google Classroom. See checklist below.
- Look through your Portfolio page on your website. Make sure each section of your final portfolio has a title and is laid out well and with intention. Add a short reflection on your process, so when I'm grading each section I have a better understanding of your intentions. You can include a short reflection for each section (3+ sentences ) or a longer one for your entire portfolio page (a few paragraphs.)
- Hang your work downstairs and join the critique circle :)
