PROCESS PORTFOLIO
Students submit carefully selected materials which evidence their experimentation, exploration, manipulation and refinement of a variety of visual arts activities during the two-year course.
Students submit (SL 9–18) or (HL 13-25) pages which evidence their sustained experimentation, exploration, manipulation and refinement of a variety of art-making activities. SL students will submit work from 2 columns & HL will submit 3 forms from 2 columns of the Art Making Forms table.
ESSENTIAL TIPS:
- Please read carefully the assessment criteria in order to organise your material according to what is required.
- Use this checklist before submitting your PP.
- The final size of Process Portfolio file should be 20MB maximum. Please compress your final .pdf file with an online .pdf compressor like smallpdf.com.

The Process Portfolio is generated by each student's personal Visual Arts Journals. The Visual Arts Journal is a place where first hand observation are recorded, together with personal reflection on ideas and experiences of media and where studio practice is documented with individual, peers and teacher's feedback.
