Creating a Digital Art Portfolio Website

Portfolio Website Goals and Purpose

• Every art student in DISD will create a digital website on google that will follow them through the end of their Senior year.

• This will enable you to keep up with your artwork, and it will allow teachers to grade your work and give you feedback on your work

• We can also use this as a way to critique your works of art

• Take pride in every assignment, you want to represent yourself, the artist, in the best way possible.
