COLLEGE

ARE YOU THINKING OF PURSUING AN ART RELATED CAREER? • HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT ART COLLEGES?

  • Art Colleges or Universities with Art related programs and careers, specifically focus on the visual arts, specialize in anything from photography, painting, drawing, graphic design, illustration, fashion, industrial design, and more. We’ve successfully prepared students for several of these schools, from Architecture in FIU to RISD, the number 3 or 4 Art and Design College in the world, as well as for many other schools. 

    All these schools require that you present a body of work called an Art Portfolio. Requirements vary from school to school. Some require that you work with a specific prompt or word, besides your artwork. Your work is the way you show your skill at using the languages of art to express who you are, what you believe in, what you care about, what moves you. Each year these colleges and universities evaluate thousands of applicants.

    We work with you and your family to help you gain acceptance to your dream school, but you need to start early. It’s easy to make “pretty” art, but making significant artwork that will stand out from the thousands of portfolios takes time and a lot of thought and creative power. 

what we offer...

  • Our program is highly personalized. Classes, Studio Hours, and Virtual Coaching are key components.
  • Each school has its own requirements, so a list of target schools is necessary.
