<p>I'm submitting a portfolio to Cornell Architecture, I have a 10-piece painting portfolio already but I need to include 5-10 other pieces to complete it. My painting is not particularly detailed, it is expressive portraiture and abstraction. I would love some advice on what to include for applying to Architecture. I know free hand drawing is required, but what kind of freehand drawing could be best?</p>
<p>I also have an interview with an alumni in two days, I'm not too concerned but if anyone wants to give advice or has knowledge of the interview I'd love it!</p>
<p>Thanks so much for the help!</p>
<p>Hi! I applied for art this year, so a bit different, but I still had to go through the portfolio submissions and interview process and all of that. Here’s some notes on the interview I did: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/cornell-university/1421297-ed-applicants-current-students-alumni-alumni-interviews-details.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/cornell-university/1421297-ed-applicants-current-students-alumni-alumni-interviews-details.html</a></p>
<p>I don’t know what you should include for architecture in particular, but I can offer opinions on your work if you want :)</p>
<p>Hope that’s somewhat helpful!</p>
<p>Could you post your portfolio?</p>

<p>This is my painting portfolio that I submitted to Stanford earlier this year. I was really going for a continuous body of work, I haven’t posted my freehand drawing work yet. I’m looking to diversify a little, because I know I’m very painting-heavy. I’m doing a large sculpture now however!</p>
<p>Oh my. I think these are absolutely fantastic. I really enjoy your varying strokes and sense of movement and I think that having a continuous body of work is really going to help you out on your applications. The paintings almost look like video stills which is really fascinating. I love your style. Where do you study, if you don’t mind?</p>
<p>Thanks so much!! I’m at The Governor’s School in Richmond, Virginia. We have a fantastic, albeit small, art program. My art teacher has won numerous awards.</p>
<p>Ahhhh! I figured you went to a good art program. I go to the Governor’s School for the Arts in South Carolina :)</p>
<p>Yeah mine isn’t for the arts which is sad 
We only get 90min studio time every other day, I had to make most of this portfolio at home. I did almost every piece in September</p>
<p>I’m sorry I can’t help with your question but just wanted to let you know I think that is some extraordinary work. No doubt you’ll be successful in what you pursue but I hope you find the opportunities at Cornell or otherwise that make you happy has well.</p>
<p>Oh! Well, you have definitely taken advantage of your resources there. Like I said, I don’t know about arch, but as an art portfolio you’d get some fiinnneeeeee scholarships!</p>
<p>Thanks so much guys 
I really love painting, I’ll be exhibiting at a gallery at the end of this school year</p>
