The 3 components below are the main focus areas of this course:
- Artistic discovery: What is my art practice? How do I go about discovering this for myself?
- Portfolio: As I look at my portfolio currently, what can I add to it and refine it to authentically show who I am as an artist: my strengths, my aesthetic, my character and vision?
- Guidance: How can I learn from art admission specialists (re: portfolio) and real world working artist professionals (re: artistic practice)?
