Hello there, sweetie! Today we're going to talk about an artist's portfolio. You know when you make a little book with your drawings and show it to your family? Well, an artist's portfolio is just like that but for grown-up artists and they show it to people who might hire them to make art for them.
You see, an artist's portfolio is a collection of their artwork, usually kept in a special folder or binder. They can put drawings, paintings, sculptures, or anything else they've made in there for people to see. It's kind of like a big scrapbook of all the things they've created.
An artist's portfolio is really important because it shows people what they're good at making. So if an artist wants to work for a company that makes video games, for example, they might put some drawings of characters they've made in their portfolio. If they want to work for a museum, they might have photos of sculptures they've made.
Sometimes artists will also include a little bit of information about themselves in their portfolio, like where they went to school or some art shows they've been in. This can help people who are looking at the portfolio get a better idea of who the artist is and what they're all about.
So there you have it, sweetie, an artist's portfolio is like a big scrapbook of all the cool art they've made that they can show to people who might want to hire them.
