Art & Studio Arts Folio Development DVDs
Recorded presentations from 2012 VCE programs.
A teacher presentation gives invaluable explanations of the study requirements, possible directions, and ways in which students have developed their practical work to achieve top marks for their folio.
Two students give honest, clear and sometimes funny presentations. These hard working, high achieving students talk about their initial nerves and plans, and take you through the development of their folios.
