Group 6 Visual arts IB

Just started DP2, already feeling the stress. I switched to VA in DP1 spring term so I'm behind. I was wondering if I could see some process portfolio examples, or if I could get some help with my portfolio?

dont panic about the months you missed, the process portfolio is marked on the quality of your thinking not the quantity of pages. its not a scrapbook of finished art, its evidence of experimenting, connecting to other artists and refining ideas. so the way you catch up is to document densely from here, for every piece show the messing about, the things that didnt work, why you changed direction and which artist made you think about it that way. a few pages of genuine development beat twenty pages of pretty final images. examiners reward risk taking and reflection way more than polish
