Going to art school? This class will help you build your portfolio and strengthen your art skills through guided projects, critique, and studio work. All serious students welcome, ages 15-18.

This class will consist of an initial reqview to asses the students current  progress and identify their preferred educational institutions. A second review will evaluate the progress of their portfolio and identify areas for improvement. This review would also involve discussing feedback received from colleges and making necessary modifications to specific pieces of work.

Finally, the portfolio review can be completed by setting up a “slideroom,” which is the preferred viewing format for most colleges. During this session, students would receive assistance in labeling and declaring their intentions for their work, as well as in arranging and modifying photographic images to enhance their presentation.

Limit 4 students
