Art Portfolio Template

An art portfolio for paintings, drawings, prints and illustration: series pages, a gallery with titles and media, and an artist statement. Download a PDF for applications and galleries.

The portfolio maker is loading.

How it works

  1. Pick a design

    Eight to start from: minimal cream, bold yellow, dark green and gold, navy and green, charcoal and orange, architecture blue, blush and editorial black and white.

  2. Add your work

    Each page has its kind: a cover, about me, contents, a project or a gallery. Add pictures to a page and they are laid out for you; write a title and a few lines about each project.

  3. Download it

    A PDF to send or upload, a Word file to keep editing (Google Docs opens it too), or a PowerPoint with a slide per page to present.

An art portfolio for paintings, drawings and prints

This art portfolio template gives each series of work its own page, a gallery with a title and medium under every piece, and an about page for your artist statement and exhibitions.

An artist portfolio for a course application, gallery or open call is usually a PDF: download one here, or a PowerPoint to show at an interview.

Photographing your art

Daylight from a window, no flash, the work square to the camera and cropped to its edges. Add the title, medium, size and year as the caption.

Why it matters

Every page laid out

Pictures are cropped to fill their spaces in a grid or with one large; text is set in the design's fonts. No dragging boxes into line.

Change the design any time

Your pages, words and pictures stay when you switch the design, colours or page shape.

Made on your device

Your pictures are not uploaded: the portfolio is put together in this browser.

Questions

What should an art portfolio include for university?

Usually 10 to 20 pieces, finished work and sketchbook pages that show how you think. Check each course's own rules on the number of pieces and file size.

How many pages can a portfolio have?

As many as you need: add pages of any kind after the one you are on, copy a page or delete it. Most portfolios are 8 to 20 pages.

What size should a portfolio be?

A4 or US Letter, in landscape for screens and wide pictures or portrait for printing. Pick both at the top of the maker; every page lays itself out again.

Can I move things around on a page?

Yes: "Edit every part" turns the page into pieces to move, resize, recolour or delete, with the same tools as the other makers (align, group, lock, turn).

Are my pictures kept?

In this browser, while there is room. Large sets of pictures can fill the browser's storage; the page tells you if so, and you can download before you leave.
