Portfolio Review

Your portfolio should include 12 – 20 pieces of recent work. Drawings and photographs do not have to be matted or framed. You should select artwork that represents the variety and quality of your capabilities as an artist. Show your ability to draw from life, rather than from printed photographs. We will look for evidence of originality, creativity, technical skill, and knowledge and versatility of media and subject, as well as an understanding of color, composition and design.
