Hey,
Im applying for a 'foundation art diploma' in the UK and I need to create a portfolio of my work. I have a general idea of what to do but was just wondering if anyone had any advice or could tell me how you presented your work just to help me along.
Thanks.

Interesting.

Do they want samples of your work?
How will you present it? hard copy or electonically?

@Lexie,
Hi Lexie, and welcome.

Oooh, it's been a long time since I was an art major. My first questions are the same as sullyfish's -- do they have guidelines? They must, of some sort.

What I remember is something like this, for 2-D artwork (drawing, painting, etc.):

If you have 3-D artwork (or really big 2-D artwork) you'd need to have good photos of it, probably from a few angles.

Aside from those basics, I remember being advised to tell a story of some kind, whether of your personal development as an artist, or as you explored a theme, or even by color/ subject matter.
