Online Portfolios: Exploring the Talent at AAU Visual Art Studies
29.04.2021Company: Amcham
In late 2020, .ART and Anglo American University (AAU) launched a partnership in light of the art industry's increasing shift towards the online realm. The mission is to support art students in building their digital presence. Since then, the new .art tools are used to highlight a number of creative projects and portfolios.
The AAU Visual Art Studies department launched a portfolio website on AAUVisual.art to share a curated selection of works by their diverse student body. In one click, visitors can encounter various mediums used by the artists, from collage and oil paintings to site-specific projects and performance art. Moreover, displayed are also moving image works and political poster art made in honour of the 1989 Velvet Revolution, a significant memory in the history of the Czech nation.
Given AAU’s global reach and international student cohort, the website examples amplify the cultural diversity of the creatives – we look at the portfolio’s of three students.

The art on her website is full of colour and life, similar to the depth of experience she brings – Porter has travelled to over forty countries while curating exhibitions and events, teaching youth workshops, creating and collaborating with fellow artists. Similarly to her life’s journey, Porter’s work focuses on themes concerning women, culture, and nature. She uses a range of mediums for artistic expression, including photography, painting, video, dance, fashion, installation, and design.
