Students will explore what makes a digital art portfolio easy to understand, practice choosing artwork that shows growth and personal style, and begin using audience-centered thinking to explain how their website should help viewers navigate and learn from their art.

Students will interview classmates and adults, observe how viewers make sense of art websites, and turn that evidence into a simple design brief for a portfolio website that highlights growth, effort, and personal style.

Students will turn research from earlier interviews and observations into clear website ideas, sketch several different portfolio directions, test a low-fidelity prototype with real users, and revise their organization and captions based on evidence from feedback.

Students will refine their portfolio websites by improving navigation, selection evidence, and artist statements; test the site with peers and a school technology coach or district media specialist; document Iteration 2 changes from feedback; and prepare a concise stakeholder-facing walkthrough of their design journey.

Students will present their finished digital art portfolio websites to authentic viewers, explain how their choices show growth, effort, and personal style, gather final audience feedback, and reflect with a partner on how their curation and organization decisions answered the project question.
