200-Level Portfolio Review Checkpoint
Once a student is enrolled in or has completed 5 of 6 second-year foundations courses, they are required to submit a portfolio of second-year level foundations studio work to be reviewed by the Department of Art and Design faculty. All artwork submitted for portfolio reviews must have been created in a college course. Transfer students, work submitted in the portfolio must have been created at PFW or another college or university. Students must note this in the respective slide in the PowerPoint by labeling it “created at (name the university, course title, and semester.)” Careful documentation and storage of one’s work is essential for success. The review is a checkpoint to assure that students have met the competency level in the second-year foundations program. For students who want to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.), this will also serve as an application for formal acceptance into the B.F.A. in Art (Ceramics, Drawing, Imaging and Photography, Metalsmithing, Painting, Printmaking, or Sculpture), B.F.A. Graphic Design, or the B.F.A. in Web Design with Elective Studies in Information Technology degree program.
The second-year review is a mandatory evaluative review for all students and is meant to provide feedback to students regarding their status in meeting the learning outcomes set for these foundational courses.
Upon a satisfactory portfolio review, students may continue in their courses toward completing the degree. The Department of Art and Design will send out detailed information regarding the portfolio review process.
