| Envelope-before |
On my second day in my art seminar class I was forced to show how poorly I keep my portfolio. Honestly I had never even tried to create a portfolio until I was told to bring one in for class this week. I didn't have much artwork to make a portfolio so I had to make ten new pieces. It was so difficult because my mind was blank; all I could think of was doodles. It sounds strange but that’s how my mind works. I couldn't think of anything amazing or worthy of a portfolio. I saw random images of peace signs and flowers, so that’s exactly what I drew. After creating crap for art, I had to figure out what to put them in. Of course my thoughts on this were just as lost, so I grabbed an envelope, one without the nifty clasp attached.

| My Drawings |
It was rather embarrassing being the only student in my class that had this envelope with ten pages of recent drawings. My teacher actually gave me some real advice, he didn’t criticize me just for having a poor portfolio, and he said “he didn’t have great expectations, but next time he would”. Once he told me how to improve my portfolio, I felt more comfortable exposing my work to my classmates. It was an experience I will probably never forget. So, I took Professor Peck’s advice and changed how my portfolio looks. I put a stiff, folder inside a zip-lock bag and my ten drawings are stacked on top of the folder. For now I think that my portfolio is appropriate, until I’m told otherwise or until I come up with something better, artistically speaking of course.
