5.5 MAKING OF PORTFOLIO (PRACTICAL)
5.5.1. SIGNIFICANCE OF PORTFOLIO
Portfolio is a collection of art work intended to show case children’s style or
method of work. Sometime, a students’ portfolio can be referred to as a scrap
book .A teacher not only can go through the portfolio for evaluation, but it will
play a determining factor in future to take some decisions. An effective portfolio
accurately represents the child’s ability and skill in the best possible light. It
illustrates the child’s expression and communication abilities as well as
showcasing the work. Through portfolio art speaks for itself. At the end of session
or year, when all art work gathered in a portfolio, teacher can be more clear about
the growth of a child he/she can spent some time with an individual’s work with
a critical eye, thinking about what should be done for improvement.
