Our Portfolio Studio is a six-week, studio-based course for students preparing portfolios for art, fashion, and design college applications. Each session builds on the last — students move through guided projects, demonstrations, and group critique, developing a cohesive body of work over the course of the cycle. Along the way, students sharpen observational drawing, test out new materials and processes, and start to recognize their own artistic voice through ongoing feedback and revision. Many students continue into additional six-week cycles to keep building their portfolios.* Ages 15+
