The goal of this course is to complete an art school admissions portfolio by the end of the fall semester. This includes:
- sketchbook including 75 drawings from observation
- 6 large format drawings from observation (must include one self portrait)
- 6 artworks which show off your passions, talent and originality
- one college essay
- complete digital portfolio on cd
Your sketchbook will include drawings in a variety of
- media (ink, pencil, charcoal)
- subjects (figure, landscape, close-up, perspective)
- techniques (contour, shading, stiple, wash)
Your sketchbook drawings will show off your ability to focus on the world and how well you can represent what you see. Its very important that these drawings be of a "portfolio" quality. This means each drawing must demonstrate your serious interest in the arts, your intentions to become a professional artist/designer.
DEADLINES:
Weekly: Complete 6 drawings per week.
November 10 : For National Portfolio Day (November 18) you will need 60 drawings
January 5: Complete sketchbook with 75 drawings
ADVICE:
Its important to work on your sketchbook everyday. If you do complete 6 drawings a week and you will be able to complete all your assignments on time and also do a good job. If you try to do it at the last minute you will not be able to do your best work.
