MFAIA- Portfolio hints and helps- analyze and Interpret


These next blog posts are for the use of myself and those writing a portfolio. I sent my first draft in, Packet 1- thought it was pretty good, had the jist of what I wanted it to say and got my revisions back. As my advisor said this can feel like a daunting task for some. I am used to writing and revision and editors so we will see.

There are bound to be lots of hints that I wish I had before I started and that I am learning now. That is what these next posts will be. They will be fast and furious posts because I am trying to do three weeks of school work in 5 days. I'm doing this because I have a huge project that came into my art studio and will take up 3 full weeks of time and I don't want to be late on packet 2, especially in this portfolio semester. So, my focus is on portfolio for long hours. Wish me luck.

Some things I am learning.

Most people plop there stuff into their portfolio from their packet work. I suppose it is a good way to start, but it will mean lots of revisions.

The words that come to me are "unpack it, unapck it, unpack it" I am sure you ahve heard this mantra before. It is coming back and screaming at me now.


As I proceed with my first set of revision my adivosor said, gdo them step by step baragraph by paragraph or as Anne lammotte said, Bird by bird!

Though I have read through all of the ideas and comments in bed this morning. Some made me want to stand up on the edge of my bed and say, "what is she talking about, I did just that, and this is how I did it!" I'll think about that statement and see if that is really what I did before screaming it in a repsonce letter. She has said these are suggestions and not directives. That is good to know, and that is what I expected. We are in graduate school to learn how to defend and back up our practice, not the berst words to use but I am certain

My Mantra, which I'm about to define and put up above my new working desk specifically created for this protfolio is Interpret and Analyze. Here is a jpg so you can print this out and hang it on your desk, like I have mine.

to help me to think here is an online defition
