艺术奖学金

Creating an effective portfolio is not as easy as it seems. What you are creating is a rank-and-file representation of how smart, 有经验的, hip and aware you are as an artist, 这需要一些努力.

Although no portfolio will contain all of the items on the list below, a strong one will contain a diverse sampling. Cover as many bases as you can and don't hesitate to ask advice from your teachers, 值得信赖的朋友和, 当然, 专业的艺术家. 艺术 programs are looking for evidence of the depth and breadth of your artistic proficiency and dedication, but this is tricky to communicate to an audience that doesn't know you well.

For convenience sake, most projects created in high school are done inside the art room. Occasional sk等h书 assignments take you out of the classroom into the "real world" but result in very few finished works from observation. 有桥的场景, 商业建筑, 树, 水体, 郊区的码, 云, 天气状况, 不同性质的光, and candid views of daily activity are, 可悲的是, 在投资组合中非常罕见. Any在哪里 an artist might take a camera should be considered an artistic possibility for images in other media.

The portability of a sk等h书 facilitates easy chronicling of what you see and think in a given day. It's also an excellent place to catalogue and comment on your influences. 当你旅行时, 当你学习艺术史的时候, 当 you find important artists and art works you like, 当 you discover interesting patterns or ideas, include them in your sk等h书 and comment on them. Write down 为什么 you find them interesting-为什么 you'd like to be influenced by them.

Series of thumbnail sk等hes are useful to demonstrate the way you analyze a complex scenario and the way you choose an appropriate aspect of the subject for composition and content. Accompanying your sk等hes with written descriptions of what, 当, 在哪里, 为什么, and how of your chosen subjects will make the 图纸 more valuable later.

The following is a list of works that might be found in an unusually diverse and strong portfolio:

• Examples of all the major media you've worked with (prints, 图纸, 水彩画, 摄影, 雕塑, 版画, 平面设计, 石油/丙烯酸, 珠宝, 等.)
• Stylistic variety from loose to tight; exacting to expressionistic; realism and expressive distortion
• 彩色和黑白作品
• 工作现场从观察，e.g. still-life, landscape, architecture, portrait, figure studies (analysis)
• Work from invention and imagination (synthesis)
• Quick sk等hes/sk等h书-rapid stylish notation of ideas from both imagination and direct observation
• Extra depth in areas of keenest interest (2-4 pieces of your specialty)
• Realism (see note below regarding photographs) and abstraction·
• Personal work made independent of class exercises-shows that you have a mind of your own!
• Graphic design ability-computer skills, software knowledge· Use of and knowledge of type, approaches to illustration and layout
• Examples of your design abilities (T-shirts, 宣传册, 海报, 传单, CD夹克, 书, 广告版面等.)
• Use of traditional art media in a design context, especially for 平面设计 and 书 arts majors

Don't copy photographs unless you significantly transform them or the photographic image is just one of multiple sources of information you use to create the art work.

避免商标(除非是原创), 卡通人物, pop culture heroes and heroines (unless your artistic personality overcomes likeness).

避免肌肉车, 独角兽, 血腥的头骨, 宠物, 天真的孩子, and flowers unless you are capable of nudging these sentimental or clichéd subjects into an original and powerfully expressive form.

如果这听起来很残酷, remember that every art teacher has seen these stale genres in droves and are predisposed NOT TO LIKE THEM!

这是一个令人兴奋的, formative time of your life 当 growth, learning and self-realization are everyday challenges. Let your portfolio reflect the complexity of your life and your struggles to understand and master your unique circumstances. 这种独特的, artistic "fingerprint" will make your work stand out and give you the best chance to get you 在哪里 you want to go.

祝你好运!
