    It always shocks me how much knowledge art students in first world countries have even before they start college. Your portfolio showed so much maturity and skills, it's beautiful! My whole classs at our second year of art school still doesn't know how to build a portfolio so to me seeing this is absolutely mesmerizing

    There are so many accepted art portfolios on youtube, and I always wonder what the ultimate intention of the student will be (such as become an illustrator for example). Long ago I applied to RISD and Pratt, ended with Pratt BFA. Then took a summer scholarship to Skowhegan School (Maine), and then obtained MFA at Columbia Univ. I never specifically studied any job or career oriented course during those years. So my goal was strictly to develop as a so-called fine artist. I later did many odd jobs such as some illustration, printing commissioned silk screen prints, etc, and eventually made my living in graphic design. But that was just a job and secondary to my personal goals. Fine arts is extremely difficult to make any kind of living, but that is my skill and first love always. For me, I never wanted to do portraits or other types of commissions, and have always turned down such offers. I became financially successful through other means. I cannot complain about the tribulations of art since over time I was exhibited in many venues, have works in collections of "the rich and famous", famous actors and athletes, patrons, important collections, and an increasing number of museums. I am aware that some artists have stumbled upon unimaginable success, but I never like their art so I don't envy their success. It is not about money. My goal is really to have the works acquired by museums, even if I part with them without compensation. That's the life I wanted. Anyway, whatever YOUR goals are, we wish you well in achieving them.

    2. what we need in a good portfolio?
    3. can i prepare portfolios in 3 months for foundation programs, what are your recommendations for applying foundation programms?
    4. Can we also show them our works that we did in our sketchbooks? should i go over the requirements when it comes to number of portfolios? should i submit as much as i want if they are so beautiful?

      1. From my whimsical fantastical sense of observation. Other popular inspirations for art generally speaking can be current events, personal experiences, literature, history, bible, multidisciplinary etc
      2. Strong pieces technically and conceptually
      3. I don’t know about foundation programs specifically. If they have high tuition they will probably take anyone who is decent lol
      4. Show ur strongest sketchbook works only

    Hi! Can we put a religious piece in our portfolio ? That is in relation to our faith and not just Bible references ? Thank you so much

    I read that you need to take the culture and analysis test.. i couldn't find examples is it filled with questions you have to answer or do you have to just talk about the topic and tell them what you know about art theories? Please tell me🙏🏽❤️

      Sorry, I don’t know! I don’t think there’s a limit but a lot has changed since I applied in 2017.
