Portfolio Lab is for high school students interested in putting together a first-rate portfolio for college admittance into an art school or program. In this workshop, you will acquire skills in numerous disciplines, gain self-confidence around your own creative process and strengthen your portfolio at the same time. At the first session, admissions professionals and faculty members will meet one-on-one with you to organize your existing work and define areas in which you should bolster your portfolio and create more artwork. Over the next 12 weeks, you will concentrate on each of the following areas: 2-D (drawing and painting), 3-D (sculpture) and digital media (video and digital photography). You will spend four sessions on each area. Through challenging studio assignments and discussions you will advance your technical skills while experiencing the intersection of disciplines as part of the artmaking process. In the final sessions of Portfolio Lab, all students, faculty and admissions professionals will gather to view your work. Through small and large group discussions you will learn how to define your areas of interest and styles of work and how to talk about your work. We will discuss documenting your artwork and how to contact art schools, as well as other logistics related to the application process.
