Body Art Portfolio Power<\/p>\n

A useful learning portfolio shows what you did, what you noticed and what improved after feedback. It does not need dozens of near-identical images or dramatic editing to communicate progress.<\/p>\n

Choose examples with a purpose<\/h2>\n

Select a small set of exercises that demonstrate different parts of your learning. Label the discipline and the kind of work shown, such as a drawing exercise or practice on synthetic skin. Do not present a practice piece as work on a client, or someone else\u2019s work as your own.<\/p>\n

For each example, add the date, the assignment and one thing you were trying to improve. This gives the viewer more useful context than a caption that simply says \u201clatest work\u201d.<\/p>\n

Photograph the work consistently<\/h2>\n

Use steady framing, adequate light and a plain background that does not compete with the subject. Check that the image is in focus before putting the work away. Include a wider view for context and a closer view if it helps the tutor assess the detail.<\/p>\n

Crop distracting empty space, but keep enough of the work visible to judge it fairly. Avoid filters, blur or retouching that hide the marks you are asking the tutor to assess. Keep the original image so you can return to it if a detail becomes unclear.<\/p>\n

Show the feedback loop<\/h2>\n
