Tips for Applying to Art Colleges Gaithersburg HS

Art College? Why attend an art college instead of a traditional liberal arts college (LAC) or university? Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) vs Bachelor of Arts (BA) Specialized arts-based education Environment of artists Typically faculty has more instructors that are working artists and commercial arts professionals Networking, exchange programs & internship opportunities Best fit for your child!

Usually more intensive programs +Usually better reputations +Usually better resources +Art community helps you learn from each other -Almost always more expensive! Traditional Art Schools Julie Kiltz 2011

Public & Private Universities with Art programs More of a traditional college experience + Easier to transfer into non-art programs or minor in a non-art subject +Usually less expensive -Usually less intensive program Genevieve Hernandez 2012

Art Portfolio Typically pieces * Collection of your student’s “best” art * Quality more important than quantity * Can be class assignments, independent projects, sketchbook pieces, etc. * Diversity in technique, variety in subject matter, & showcase student’s “artistic voice” * Solicit feedback from GHS Art Faculty * Portfolio should be clean, organized, easy to handle * Requirements & criteria vary by school & view artwork

Top Tier Art Schools Portfolio Requirements Observational art * Drawing or painting in traditional method using still life, figure model, portrait or landscape as subject and rendering as accurate as possible Personal art * Created outside the classroom and reflects artists unique interests in materials, subject & concept Home exam * School or department specific requirements (e.g. Rhode Island School of Design “bicycle”, Cooper Union home test for architecture & art)

The most popular art schools will have long lines. * Be prepared to discuss your art. * What inspired you to create this? * Where do you get your ideas from?
