Think about how you can collate/curate these images within your digital portfolio. We are looking to see your creative and experimental approach to fine art practice so look for work which demonstrates your passion and interest in fine art. It will also be useful for you to include short pieces of text which could help us understand your work and processes. We will also be looking for an awareness and interest in contemporary fine art evidenced by artists, periodicals, reviews, exhibition and gallery visits.
