How long is a portfolio review?
Most reviews are one hour in length.
What format should my portfolio be in?
Portfolios are made up of physical pieces or presented digitally or a combination of both. If bringing a digital portfolio student needs to supply a laptop, tablet, or printed pieces. Output is available at Narrowsburg Union Pack and Ship.
What should I include in my portfolio?
We recommend that you include a range of your work, up to 10-12 pieces. Often times, schools are interested to learn your process and method of thinking, so not all work needs to be finished, and works in progress are welcome. This is also an opportunity to your interest in various subject matter.
What happens next?
Following a review of your portfolio and with a clear understanding of your academic goals, we will create a lesson plan of studio assignments to build your portfolio. Many of our projects have artist-inspired theme and combine exciting hands-on creation with exploration of real world art by modern masters (Cezanne, Van Gogh, O’Keefe, Matisse). Portfolios with art history references are a plus.
