Visual Arts Portfolio Building - Editing Previous Works and Adding More
course price icon
Von 28.62 $ /Std
arrow icon
This course is for people who are working on building a visual arts/design portfolio and/or are looking for feedback/tips on artworks. You'll learn how to strategically organize a portfolio and how to best showcase your work.

I can also provide tips on how to use Adobe programs (ie. Photoshop, Illustrator) to enhance both traditional and digital art. In terms of enhancing the portfolio as a whole, this course will also teach you what can be added to improve the overall quality. These tips can be applicable to a personal/academic portfolio, or even the AP Visual Arts Portfolio.

Über mich
Hey! My name is Marlo and I'm from Toronto, Canada, but am currently living in Ottawa! In my free time, I enjoy reading, learning about geography, and traveling - even if it's just around the city. My favourite author is Jules Verne, but my favourite book is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.
Bildung
I'm a second year architecture student at Carleton University in Ottawa, and am studying architecture related to conservation and sustainability!

I took Advanced Placement courses in high school (AP English, AP Literature, and AP Visual Arts) and was able to pass the AP exams and portfolio assessment! Not only that, but my strengths in English and art courses have helped me earn subject awards, such as the Writer's Craft award and the AP Visual Arts award.
Erfahrung / Qualifikationen
I have never tutored students academically, but I have tons of experience teaching a variety of content. This content ranges from teaching karate to students of all ages at a dojo to teaching debate and conference procedure (as well as essay writing) as the president of the Model United Nations club in high school.

With these experiences came the ability to cater my teaching style and speed to different people! Although the lessons will vary from person to person, I will create a list of goals that align with the student's abilities and comfort level.

Photoshop is the basic and most common professional tool for many directions in graphic design, so it is simply necessary for all beginners to study. Perhaps, at first glance, the program interface may seem complicated and incomprehensible, but in fact it is not so and after training anyone can quickly navigate in Photoshop.

I offer you an individual Photoshop study course for each student for any need. It doesn’t matter if you know the basics or not: I’ll explain to you everything that you don’t know depending on what you want to use Photoshop for. You can choose the direction, for example, for processing photos, drawing or editing and adding various fonts and text. We can start with a baseline or go straight to more advanced features. In addition to the main ones, we will touch upon such topics as 3D in Photoshop, render, scripts, automation and export.

I can teach you in German, English, Russian or Ukrainian. Unfortunately, my German level is not yet perfect, but I am constantly developing in this direction. If you have any questions, be sure to write to me :)

Podcast sind nicht nur eine Möglichkeit ein bisschen zu quatschen, sondern gerade im Business-Bereich, eine meist noch ungenutzte Chance seine Kunden zu erreichen und dadurch sein Unternehmen ein Stück weit von anderen abzuheben.

Sicher haben auch Sie bereits über diese Möglichkeit des Marketings nachgedacht, haben aber keinerlei Erfahrungen wie Sie die Idee des Podcast umsetzen können.

Ich erkläre Ihnen wie Sie ihren eigenen Podcast erstellen können, wie Sie diesen Bearbeiten und auf Plattformen wie Spotify veröffentlichen können.

Speaking about films provides an almost endless possibilities for conversation. This class will usually be well-versed in many country's films, customs, foods!We will focus on what students like best/least about friends. The exercise allow you to practice a number of areas: opinions, comparatives and superlatives, descriptive adjectives, and reported speech. Also, storytelling lessons, how to share a story, tell a narrative!

For pupils who are still at school, I make an overview of the progress, so that the parents and specialist teachers remain informed about the work that has been done.

Hello,

My name is Lucas, I'm a 37 years old graphic designer and collage illustrator.
I created this course to introduce new-comers and intermediate Photoshop users to develop their abilities, learn new tricks and use Photoshop for personal and professional goals.

The course is adapted to the student's current knowledge and objectives with the software to learn the basic features, image uses for print and web, how to combine Photoshop's features to achieve goals, photo-treating features, advanced effects and tricks, interacting with other Adobe Softwares, and more.

The course is conducted in either English, Portuguese or Spanish. We can discuss the possibilities of conducting it in German or French.
I can commute to your desired place within the Ringbahn, and your will need a computer with a later Photoshop installed. :)

Corona safety measures should please be respected. Thank you!

Looking forward to your contact.
All the best,
Lucas.

Get expert insight on how to prepare your studio space, interface your tools, and set-up your DAW. Receive valuable instruction, feedback, and support from an industry professional.

I offer creative lessons tailored to your needs and preferences. These can cover drawing and painting techniques, but also other materials like clay or digital tools (think digital art on the iPad). Together, we'll explore your current level, what skills you'd like to learn, and establish a goal to guide the lesson content. Especially if you're saying, "Yes, but I'm not really that creative," or "Yes, but I'm not very good at drawing," I'd love to take on the challenge with you!

As a multidisciplinary artist, I believe that strong digital work is rooted in traditional mastery. This course combines the tactile logic of oil painting and watercolors with the power of Photoshop and digital design. We begin with the core fundamentals, anatomy, still life, and composition before transitioning those skills into the digital space.

You will learn to control digital brushes, build convincing lighting, and apply color with intention. We move beyond simple tutorials to tackle character design, surreal environments, and professional workflows. By the end of this course, you will have a body of polished, original work and a deep understanding of the design fundamentals that make an image successful in any medium.

By the end, you’ll produce portfolio-ready artworks and understand a professional workflow from sketch to finish. Each session combines hands-on exercises with discussion of artistic choices, so you strengthen both technical skill and creative judgment.

This course is for beginners and intermediate artists who want to go beyond tutorials and actually build a body of polished, original work.

Would you like to structure your notes more or simply make them look a little nicer?
I'll show you the basics of hand lettering to achieve this.
Together we can practice holding the pen, the different types of pens, how much pressure to apply and shading, for example.

The program is designed for students interested in concept art, illustration, visual storytelling, and portfolio preparation for art schools, animation/game-related programs, or independent artistic development. It follows a mentorship-based approach, combining artistic foundations, conceptual thinking, and portfolio strategy, adapted to everyone's style, vision and long-term goals.

What's in it?

PART I

1. Artistic & visual language

• Traditional drawing & illustration techniques
• Shape & form study
• Light, color & values
• Composition & visual storytelling

2. World-building & visual thinking

• Environment design (natural & built spaces)
• Props, objects, and visual detail
• Character concepts (anatomy basics, silhouettes, expression)
• Style exploration (realistic, stylized, symbolic, experimental)
• References vs originality: how to build from research without imitation

3. Cognitive & creative process

• Artistic thinking & workflow
• From idea to image
• Documentation & reference gathering
• Moodboards & visual research
• Iteration, selection, refinement
• Knowing when a piece is finished

4. Digital foundations (optional / hybrid)

• Transition from traditional to digital
• 2D digital tools & workflows
• Layer logic, brushes, textures
• Digital painting fundamentals
• Presentation-ready images
• Case studies from professional concept artists & illustrators

This section is optional and may be skipped for students with prior digital experience. In such cases, the focus will be on refining and strengthening what has already been acquired.

IMPORTANT!

All sections in Part I (artistic practice, visual language, world-building, technical and digital foundations) are approached according to the student’s existing level, from beginner to advanced. If foundational skills are already present, these areas will not be repeated mechanically; instead, the focus will shift toward portfolio development, conceptual depth, and refinement of existing work.

PART II

Portfolio development & mentorship

1. Portfolio building

• Defining the student’s artistic direction
• Selecting and developing strong themes
• Creating cohesive series, not isolated images
• Aligning personal style with academic or professional expectations
• Consistent review, feedback, and refinement

2. Application-specific support (where applicable)

• Portfolio selection & sequencing
• Artist statements or motivation letters (with visuals)
• Adapting work to specific institutions or programs
• Understanding evaluation criteria
