I think that for art portfolio, the easiest thing to include will really be photography, simply because it's a 'faster' medium to use, but i don't want that to be why it is included, i think for me it will be easy because it is my favorite to use. Something more difficult for me personally will be actual drawings with pen and pastels and things like that. I think i just work a lot better with paint and photography and just mixing mediums as well. When reading the list i don't know if anything really surprised me, but I was just a little overwhelmed. I really just hope that I do well in this class and become a better artist as the year goes on.
Once my portfolio is finished, I'm not exactly sure what i want to do with it, but as of now i am looking into double majoring in graphic design and industrial design and minoring in business. I definitely want to include a lot of photography just because i enjoy it so much, but i also would like to make sure to kind of include a variety of ideas and mediums to show i can work with different things. I really want to work with cyanotypes and my pinhole camera, and i also want to explore the pen and ink idea more. I definitely want to try to involve art in my career, but if not i know I'll always continue to do it in the future. If i do use it for college, I've been looking into Columbia and UIC, and I am leaning towards UIC so I'm really excited to see what happens. :)
Nice job Emily. I enjoyed reading about your feelings in regard to producing the type of portfolio that schools want to see. I also think that minoring in business is a fantastic idea. I look forward to your nontraditional darkroom work, and I think your portfolio is already off to a great start. 50/50
