The first couple weeks will focus on collecting existing pieces that students are proud of. We will discuss strengths and areas where students should consider expanding. We will also look up the expectations various schools have for portfolios that students are applying to - ex. more original character designs for RISD’s illustration program.
Early on and throughout we will carefully look at examples of successful portfolios to help set up expectations for the overall caliber expected of the schools students will be applying to.
Later into the session we will collectively talk about how personal viewpoints are expected to be reflected in students’ body of work and how to improve their artistic voice. Many public art school classes focus more on technical aspects and generally not as much on the concepts behind the work. Looking at how current professional artist have accomplished this will help guide group conversations.
Over the course of most classes a portion of the day will be spent on individualized feedback as well as the opportunity to have support from other students.
Towards the end of the semester we will be polishing each student’s portfolio and catering the organization and arrangement of the pieces to each school’s curriculum and expectations.
