Artist portfolio

A portfolio is a set of pictures by someone, or photographs of examples of their work which they use when entering a competition or applying for a job.
Your portfolio is the most valuable tool in your overall presentation. Your visuals are worth a thousand words, and an arresting portfolio can help close the gap, should your written material be less developed.
Besides, a job portfolio sets you apart from other candidates, and if prepared correctly, you can make a difference.

Listen to this video made byMiddlesex University London about some important tips for creating your Art & Design portfolio.

Understanding colour and its subjective use in art

Let us analyse colour from an objective and subjective approach: types of colours, their relationship to one another and its function in the French movement The Fauves, led by Henri Matisse, who revolutionised the use of colours in painting  in order to use them as an expressive element of the artist's vision of the world.

The psychology of colours

Colours arise particular feelings and emotions. We all have a personal favourite colour or choose a particular one to wear depending on the situation or our state of mind. Evidence of this "psychology of colours" is their use in marketing and advertising.
