A High School Senior's Portfolio

One of Medway High School's Class of 2018, Liz Goemaere, is a very talented art student who will continue into a creative field.

A high school art portfolio is something worked on throughout the students 4 years and is required as part of the admission process to art/design schools, to identify skills, ability and potential of the applicant.

Liz has always been interested in arts and crafts growing up.

In high school, Liz said, "I took just about every art class they offered, from graphic design to ceramics to advanced fine arts."

Liz likes to explore different areas of the art field but her favorite mediums to work in are watercolor, acrylic paint, or value pencils.

Liz's art teachers over the past 4 years, Ms. Champagne and Mrs. Brodeur, and most recently, Mrs. Jackson for Art History, have helped her develop a successful portfolio.
Liz will be studying Interior Design at Suffolk University this fall. She has always had an eye for interior design and loves the idea of building a feeling within a room and making it more personal. Being creative and also enjoying math, she will do well as an Interior Designer.

We wish her the best!


Thank you Liz for letting me share your portfolio!

  1. Your picture with the branches reminds me of the collage work by the Australian children's book illustrator, Jeannie Baker. Keep up the hard work and you will have a great career in the arts.
