A unique program has been designed to give prospective undergraduate students the opportunity to compile well edited, dynamic, strong portfolio’s – demonstrating both technical and creative ability, whilst exploring new territory and building confidence in their skills as a visual communicator.  The workshop provides a great opportunity to work under the guidance of a CIE accredited assessor, moderator, and art facilitator, Kerry-Lyn Honey with over 17 years teaching and assessment experience.

Various methods and techniques will be explored, showing individualism, versatility and experimentation.

In addition to the workshop, continuous online assessments are available for the duration of the application/portfolio process.

Please note that the Creative Portfolio Development Workshop is primarily designed for those who are interested in applying to do a post-secondary qualification which requires a portfolio on application – such as architecture, graphic design, animation, illustration, advertising, photography, fine art, jewellery design, interior design and fashion design.
