<p>parlsky - hmm, never thought to change the portfolio up based on the school. Good idea –> if NYU accepts art supplements, I’ll make sure to send my most pretentious work</p>
<p>switters - yeah, I was only planning to submit the prints, but after what you said, maybe I’ll put some photos in.</p>
<p>bears and dogs - “not hipster grunge pop art cartoon things,” hahahaha I got a big kick out of that. Yeah, Boston U was cut from my list, didn’t seem that appealing after doing some research. My scores aren’t the hottest (3.6 UW @ school w/ no APs + pretty rigorous courses throughout, 1860 SAT, nothing impressive) but I think I have above-average/good ECs (but this website has totally deconstructed all preconceived notions of “good” and “bad” so who knows). I’m also entering some art contests to try to win some scholarship $$. Hope that goes well…and yes, thats a bear</p>
<p>I just matted the prints and they look prettier, so I’ll post them here when I get a chance + any new pieces I do</p>
<p>so how much the T shirt?
do you do white image on black?
size if uni -M if male-S if female-M
neckline should be like American apparel -sh, not droopy please.
buy 1 get 1 free?</p>
<p>What? what did you do with it, recycled?
you should never throw away if it’s something to do with a bear.
I mean, take off the frame and roll it up, won’t take much room.
what if you become rich and famous? eh? retrospective show?
think ahead, make money.</p>
<p>Hey everyone. I’m applying to SVA, MICA, Ringling, Pratt, and Tisch. MICA has spoken with me before and has approved my porfolio already but is now focused on shooting for scholarships. I’m applying as a photography major btw, let me know what you think.

<p>Hello everybody. I’m an undergrad student majoring in Fine Art. I’m applying to SVA, Pratt, Ringling, and the Art Institute of Chicago. </p>
<p>I’m worried about my portfolio. I realize I have an alright technical skill, but I’m seriously worried about the cohesiveness of the whole thing. Check it out.</p>

Here’s mine! Still in the process of consolidating my pieces Would love some advice & feedback! I probably need more drawings or something from real life, I suppose? Thanks!</p>
<p>JSYK, I’m applying for the Brown/RISD dual degree program (graphic design), and other universities (e.g. Wash U in St. Louis) with art/design majors. I’m an international student, so I can’t go for portfolio days and such.</p>
<p>Hi I’m a senior in high school looking to go to an art school, but I really don’t know if i can get in. I mean I’ve had a few drawing classes, and i don’t think I’m horrible, but i want to major in graphic design. I did not even know until this past summer that i needed a portfolio with drawing to get into graphic design. That did not help me at all…So here I am a few months before I have to hand in a perfect portfolio, and i don’t know. I reallllly want to go to Tyler School of Art (its part of temple) but i hear its really challenging and really competitive. If you want to look at some of my stuff online go ahead. I want to know if anyone knows of any others good art colleges preferably in Pennsylvania. And please feel free to give me feedback on my work. Also i am looking for examples of portfolios online, but i can’t really finds any. Thanks soo much if you take the time to read this i appreciate it.</p>
<p>Good job on the portfolio yooglin. The abstract work isn’t quite as good as your figurative stuff but at least it shows a willingness to experiment. There’s a tendency for people to think of non figurative work as being quite random but principles of composition, colour, unity etc still apply if you want to make a decent image. If you were applying as a freshman you would certainly get into all the schools on your list but I’m not sure what level you’d be transferring at nor what the specific requirements for the respective schools are. I’d recommend you make more of an effort to bring your own interests and personal voice into your work, especially if you are applying as a transfer. I know for a fact that saic and to a lesser extent sva don’t really care so much about your level of technical skill once you have passed a certain point. They’re looking more for a personal “voice”. I’d also recommend you check out MICA and RISD. Ringling is more of a design school and might not be the best place to study fine art. Also read up on some art history post 1900 and get rid of the bird. It’s obvious you can draw and render from the other pieces and no one will be looking for additional proof at a transfer level. The portfolio isn’t cohesive but it doesn’t really have to be. I guess if you wanted to present it properly you’d have to mix everything together.</p>
<p>Hey–
I am not sure just what art schools I am applying to (I don’t know how far my skill cxould take me; I know I have potential but I have been mostly self-taught until this year ((taking an oil painting course at a local college)) but I am plan to apply to some liberal arts schools (Williams, Amherst, Scripps…) and USC, and I am just now putting together my portfolio. I only have 11 pictures so far and they may not go into the final portfolio, but could anyone give me some critique/reviews?</p>
<p>Quite nice, you do definitely have potential. If you could get a figure drawing class or two I think you’d jump forward in leaps and bounds. The oil painting class will help of course as well. The biggest area for you to work on is properly visualizing your depth and proportion when it comes to figure and portraiture. Are the portraits and such from life? or photos?</p>
<p>Just a couple of things to keep in mind in general, you want newer work, 2 years at oldest. Pick your absolute best, quality over quantity, if you know a piece is weak, leave it out. You’ve got lots of representational work in there, which is great. Variety is important too, if you can get some pieces in there that are some other mediums and subject matter to show you have the desire and will to explore all the avenues of creativity available.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for the advice! I don’t know how many figure classes are available, but I will definitely try or at least have my friends sit for me. XD The pieces from photos are: Justin (boy), that Far-off Feeling (the purply one with the girl), and I used several photos to draw the little girl. I definitely see where I need to work on depth/proportion, and I think that is something that comes from practice. Working from photos tends to…flatten everything. I’ll look into more mediums and subjects too. I’ve done some ceramics and I’ve been dying to work more with watercolor and India Ink so we’ll see.</p>
<p>So question… if I’m a graphics art person and I’m looking to submit those pieces, is it okay that I don’t have individual links for every stock image? Can I just refer to the sites were I got the images from?</p>
<p>One really urgent question. If we are submitting sculptures for online application, is 1 photo enough? or we need to show different aspects of the sculpture? I am applying online for Parsons, and am struggling how to take a photo of my sculpture and 3D pieces.</p>
Would love some advice & feedback! I probably need more drawings or something from real life, I suppose? Thanks!</p>
I’m an international student, so I can’t go for portfolio days and such.</p>
