<p>Hi! I posted this in the visual art forum but I've had no reply so far!
So recently, I realized that the nursing path was not for me. I've always had a love for art, mostly graphic design.
The problem is, I decided to take the nursing path at my high school and haven't took any art classes besides Art 1, which I'm taking right now. So that means I don't have a portfolio.
I've done a bit of freelancing for local bands and friends, designing flyers, invitations, and websites. But I don't think that's good enough to help me get in.
I was hoping to apply to Parsons, but it requires a portfolio to get in.
I'd like to stay in either California, Texas, Virginia, New Jersey, or New York.
Are there any schools that don't require one, or let me go in as undecided, take art foundation classes, and then transfer into a graphic design program?</p>
<p>Anyone willing to help?</p>
<p>Start with the colleges and universities right in your own home state. Many of them would have a no portfolio art major. You also should ask your current teacher for recommendations. Some design schools have no-credit portfolio development classes that could be worth considering.</p>
