I photocopied my original nature series drawings so that I could add on to them without the stress and worry of messing up the originals. I was able to add more depth and dimensions to the series by shading and blending more areas. This is a great way to move forward on a project without fear of 'messing up' the original copies.
I went to Virginia Commonwealth University. The university was hosting an art related job fair. I brought my art portfolio along with some original work. The art fair was located in downtown Richmond, Virginia. People lined the streets with their portfolios ready to talk with representatives from different schools. I was nervous but excited to view schools and colleges and talk with professionals about my work.
I got some great feedback from many colleges and I got a glimpse of what a professional portfolio conference was like. I looked at Virginia Commonwealth University and Rocky Mount school of art in Detroit. There were many more school to look at but lines were long, as many people and similar ideas of what schools to view. I talked with the representatives for about half an hour. They told me that I was very good at drawing and giving the effect of still life but that I need to work on adding depth and dimension to my work. They told me about classes that their school offered that I could attend if enrolled in the fall of my graduation. I wish I could have looked at a few more schools but I am glad that I could see my top picks. Now I have an idea of what the schools are looking for in a young artist. The schools were thrilled that I was a junior and looking at undergrad schools. Most said that I had a head start and have an advantage on the school I choose to attend. I was able to present my portfolio to the representatives and get lots of positive and helpful feedback. Overall, I feel that it was a great opportunity that I took advantage of. I was able view amazing schools with great artists that attended. I was also able to expand my horizons and view different mediums and styles of art. I am glad I got the opportunity to see these amazing schools and I hope I can attend more of these very helpful art portfolio reviews. |
