Foundations and Entrance Portfolio

While attending Northern Illinois University for Art & Design Education, Foundations for Art + Design Education (ARTE 200) is a required course that allows you into the program. During this semester, I prepared for my portfolio review as I further developed my skills as an artist. Along the way, we began to think like teachers, as well as creating five new works. Here, you will find the progression of each new work from start to finish alongside in class activities throughout the course.
