Artists and Art Schoolers in Design: Art Portfolio Content?

Hello...again





I would like to ask those people who are currently in Art Schools, either teaching or as a student or has past experience.





For your portfolio to apply into Art School for Design...What did you draw or produce?





Flowers?


People?





Did you do Still Lifes and Observational drawings to try and get in for Design?


What things did you draw?


or even themes?





Additionally, did you need to write sort entries about the pieces you have done, explaining your inspiration and etc.?





Id appreciate any examples of what you had done for the pieces in the portfolio u had submitted, that reached the success of being accepted into Art School.





Most of the questions are vital in my understanding to this procedure of applying, thanks..again

The art school that I went to gave very specific instructions for what they wanted in the portfolio. Check with the places you are going to apply to.


If they don't specify, I would pick a variety of subjects and techniques and mediums if possible, but would feature the work that I personally like the best.


Also, if the schools that you apply to aren't specific, you could find the requirements for other schools and follow that agenda.


I just copied this from an art school this minute (Ringling in Sarasota, FL) (This is for fine art, illutration etc)


Since representational drawing is an integral part of the curricula for the majors listed above, you should show examples of drawing from life in your portfolio. This may include interior or exterior environments, human figures, animals, hands and feet, and everyday objects. Portfolios may also include class assignments, design projects, animations, photography, paintings, sculpture, etc. Please do not copy directly from another artist, or include such things as anime, tattoo designs, dragons, unicorns, etc. At least half of your portfolio should consist of drawing from direct observation.
Reply:it really depend on your major, i apply to fidm, they ask me to draw put a circle,square,triangle together on a patch. it doesnt matter how i put.
