Evergreen Art 2D Practices portfolio?

First off, let me start by saying how amazing the progress has been so far in class. We've covered a substantial amount of territory, and I'm enthusiastic to see new works being made. Responding to the progress we've seen in the collage work (and looking at how it relates to the drawings we're doing every class), it may be helpful to discuss the syllabus (again), as we move further in building a portfolio.

So, as an introduction, THE PORTFOLIO:

In designing the framework/calendar/syllabus for this course, one of my objectives is to identify (to you, with you) your own processes, and how they inform the work products you make. To this end, I would like to unfold some of the characteristics of the portfolio that I introduced (briefly, as though you were passing it in a party) in our syllabus. What is becoming evident (to me, and hopefully to you as well) is how independent your solutions are for the series of works we make together in class-- whether collage, perspective drawings, nature studies, or abstract design problems. Working effectively as a group, your works nonetheless chart very individual responses to the projects in class.

Beginning in the next class, I would like us (as a group) to assess your work output to date, discussing the progression of the pieces you've already made, and noting/analyzing how works may share commonalities while also diverging greatly (in subject and form). From this discussion, I would like for you to design (in very broad terms) what your portfolio could look like, or where and how you see your work moving over the last half of the quarter. Which is to say, my thought has always been that you would be designing the portfolio yourselves, reflecting (in visual terms) your experiences during this time, looking to further (for many of you) investigations and works you began well before ever taking this course.

In shaping the syllabus, I have been using 2D art practices (drawing and collage to date) to frame our discussions and work. As we will be working with some printing techniques (most likely frottage, stencils, and monoprints) and painting strategies (water-based), I'm interested in discussing how you see these processes informing your work; what do you need to do to make the work you want?

Are there specific tools, techniques, concepts that are emerging in your practice?

Are there specific subjects that you find yourself returning to, or questioning repeatedly?

We've been meeting for a month now, and looking at ways to integrate drawing into your everyday life; you're making drawings in class, on the phone, on the bus, at home, and at school. How can a portfolio give a viewer a sense of you interests, and how you work?

What does ten (10) weeks of production look like?
