What to show in a public-art student portfolio

A Kenyan design learner studies What to show in a public-art student portfolio in a practical design setting.

Make your public-art portfolio show the project’s context. Include your brief, site observations, intended audience, sources, consultation notes and ideas that changed after feedback. Add drawings, a maquette and views that show how people might encounter the work. Explain which permissions or specialist reviews you still need.

Protect people’s photographs and community information: get permission before you share images or personal comments. Label your work accurately as a student proposal, commissioned work, maquette or installed sculpture. Claim site permission or technical approval only when you have it.

KICD’s Creative Arts curriculum provides broad learning context. Explore KENCID’s Sculpture course and Product Design courses for related study.
