An art portfolio is a small, representative collection of an artist's current or recent work. The art portfolio plays an important role in the art school admission review process by identifying the skills, abilities, and potential of the student.

Student portfolios intended for art school admission review are quite different from portfolios of working artists. Working artists' portfolios are highly focused toward the type of job or client being sought, and they generally contain only highly polished works, in order to show a high level of artistic achievement. Prospective students' portfolios, however, are intended to show the potential of the artist. To this effect, a wider selection of mediums and techniques may be required, as well as works showing the creative process of the artist (i.e. sketches, life drawings, etc.).
