Need an Art Portfolio for College Admission? 

 

Many colleges require an Art Admissions Portfolio, which should be started a student's 9th grade year in High School. This will give ample time to save their most successful pieces in order to apply for college programs. It usually consists of 15-20 pieces of artwork of all different media. These should be your 'best of the best!' Each college requires a slightly different portfolio so be sure to visit that college's website for specifics. 

 

If you have any questions about careers or colleges, please don't hesitate to ask!

 

And remember....Keep every piece of artwork you make! Store it in a safe, flat, dry place!
