How does a sustained investigation guide your portfolio?
Sustained investigation is guided by questions. It involves research: discovering what you do not know the answer to yet. Investigation includes examination, discovery, imagination, interpretation, description, and curiosity.
Purpose
Your Inquiry will guide you through your portfolio. Your question should be broad enough so that you can practice, experiment, and revise your ideas along the way. So you are asking questions instead of making statements.
How does, or how will, the work in your sustained investigation demonstrate the exploration of your idea?
Turn an artists statement into a question. Pick a Topic you are curious about or interested in learning more about?
