<p>Skylen</a> C Monaco: Arts Supplement | Supplement Portfolio</p>
<p>Here is the portfolio that I will be submitting to all of my colleges.
I am not going to major in art though...
Tell me what you think
:D</p>

<p>You should get art professionals’ opinions. Not ours.</p>
<p>I’d eliminate the skull, personally.</p>
<p>I’m no judge of artwork but there’s some impressive stuff in there.</p>
<p>If only the adcom is going to be looking at the portfolio rather than the art faculty, I think the art supplement serves to show a passion for the arts rather than be judged for artistic merit.</p>
<p>That being said, I really like the third picture! And is the first one Cowboy Bebop? :)</p>
<p>I took art in school for 3 years and really got into it. im submitting an art supp too.</p>
<p>Depends which colleges ur submitting it to. </p>
<p>Your level of art looks very good. I doubt it would hurt at all if you submitted it. And I think it will help out a bit. Youre not super-awesome-amazing, but definately really good. </p>
<p>My suggestions: Remove the skull and the guy who looks like he’s eating the guitar. Sorry, but it looks so awkward i think it takes away from the piece (or go back and move it around). Maybe add something abstract or super surreal if you can do it easily.</p>
<p>Sorry. idk why i can’t type coherent sentences atm, btu hopefully u can decipher this mess.</p>
<p>tl;dr: portfolio is an 8/10, with 6-7 being average for art supps</p>

Yeah, I was thinking of removing the skull. Skidmore requires 4 still lifes. But I suppose I can draw one up pretty quickly this week.</p>
<p>@OrangeDinosaur
yeah, that’s Spike. xD</p>

Yeah, I think I will remove the guitar one… Now that I look at it, it does look like he is eating it lol.</p>
<p>I actually really enjoyed the guitar one. The intricate design on the body of the instrument is beautiful.</p>
<p>Yeah I thought that guitar one was cool as well.</p>
<p>A question… how do you plan to submit the portfolio?
:s</p>
<p>Oh and i feel the ‘Coffee Pirates Cat’ and ‘Church at Vermont’ are two of your strongest pieces as they both reflect that you can work effectively using different media.</p>
<p>The only art classes I’ve taken were in middle school and elementary school, but I LOVE THESE!</p>

It’s part of the Art Supplement. Some schools have different requirements. But all of mine allowed me to do it in this format.</p>
<p>I don’t know why there is so much opposition to the skull. Many famous pieces of artwork incorporate skulls, especially those pieces dating from times when “memento mori” was kind of a big deal. Any respectable faculty member of an art department must surely know that the skull is a classical aspect of art and art history. I don’t think the skull in this portfolio should be removed simply because it is a skull.</p>

I think it’s because it isn’t a very well drawn skull. I am drawing a new one as we speak. :B</p>
<p>How did you get the images to have the additional zoomed up boxes?
And, I think your portfolio is fantastic. Even the guy eating the guitar (I didn’t notice at first until I read the comments) :D</p>
