Steps for Making a Binder Portfolio – Part 1 of 3
The nature of your portfolio will depend to some degree on the kind of art or craft you make. Sometimes it is possible to use the actual art and sometimes instead you need to include photographs or drawings of the art.
Use the original art where possible. This may determine the size of your binder. If you are to include photographs of your art or craft, you must learn how to take good photographs so that your art can be seen well. You can assemble a portfolio in three or four steps. If you have a lot of your work on hand, you may be able to make one in an afternoon, but even if you must start making your art or crafts from scratch, you should be able to have a portfolio completed within a month.
Your first step is to select and purchase a good binder or presentation case. You don’t have to spend a lot of money, but you want to take care that you choose something that is attractive and does not appear too cheap. If you are including original artwork, you may want to look for a larger size, perhaps 11″ x 14″ or 14″ x 17″. Larger than that can become awkward to keep with you and limit it’s use. Portfolios of modest size that hold standard typing paper are very convenient to carry, and still large enough in most cases to serve your needs. Very small binders about the size of a baby-brag book could be useful for showing jewelry, or as a duplicate portfolio small enough to keep with you always, but it is too small for most professional use.
Look for a binder where you can easily exchange your artwork or photographs, so that you can keep your portfolio current and improve it. Avoid permanently affixing any art or photo to the binder. Page protectors can be very helpful in keeping your artwork and photos clean, and you can then mount photos to pieces of quality paper with hinges and write descriptions on the paper. This also makes it easy to switch out examples of your work. Catalogs and art stores will have examples of portfolio systems for you to consider.

Art: Stephen Wilkes’ evocative photographs of Ellis Island at James A. Michener Art Museum
Ellis Island figures in so many American family histories that any artist who addresses the last century’s great wave of European immigration plugs into a ready-made constituency.
What is a good art portfolio carrying case?
My younger brother is really big into doing spray paint art, and he is really amazing at it, but he doesn’t have any way of carrying them around. He’s started selling them at his college, but he just has to throw them in the backseat or the trunk of the car and hope they don’t get folded or bent.
I want to get him a nice art portfolio case for Christmas so he can carry them around better, and also give off a professional vibe. I want it to be nice, but preferably not too expensive. I know those don’t usually go together, but maybe someone out there knows of a good brand I can look at.
Size wise, it only has to be able to hold half posterboards (meaning he takes a regular size posterboard, and cuts it in half), so I don’t think that’s too big. I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks!
Not sure where you are located – USA or Canada. Michaels carries a variety of portfolio cases that are reasonably priced, so you might want to go there to look at them. Any artist supply store will also have a selection, but will likely be more expensive. If you are in Canada, check out currys.com. They have a good selection at various prices and I can vouch for their reliability. I order from them all the time as I have mobility challenges which make it difficult for me to go out to look in stores. I have bought a lot of supplies from them and have never been disappointed.
Here's my opinion: artistic talent is largely learned. Most of the so-called experts will argue this statement, of course. They’ll proclaim that artistic oil painting techniques are only in the grasp of those rare individuals that are born with a mysteriously God-like ability to create art. Being lowly mortals, we should never even try to understand art let alone try to create it. Give me a break! Click here For the rest of the story: Free Painting Lesson
