Art Portfolio Development Course
(Ages 14–18)
This course is essential for any students planning on applying to art school. Students must come prepared with 20 pieces saved in a google drive folder for the first day of class to be shared and to receive individualized feedback. The following three weeks will be devoted to making artwork that strengthens each student’s portfolio in their media of choice, for example an interpretive self-portrait, a still life, a figure drawing and/or a mood collage. Students must be self-motivated, willing to work outside class hours, and should have their own art supplies in their media of choice.
This class is online with live instruction. Students will need to have a computer, tablet, or phone with internet and access to Zoom.
