reflection

• A portfolio tells one student’s story
• A portfolio is as much a process as a product

Contains both work in progress and final artworks that students select to show and tell ideas that are meaningful to them. For example:  Documentation of process e.g. Sketches, Photographs, Visual journals, Written ideas  Documentation of Presentation e.g. Artist talk; Show-and-tell; Exhibition  Reflections Students will engage in collecting items in their portfolio and use the items in the portfolio to engage in discussion with their classmates and teacher to share their ideas or improve on their art. Students will engage in recalling, thinking and sharing what they have learnt from the experiences

Portfolio is the main mode of assessment in all primary schools
