What would the perfect art school admissions portfolio comprise of?
December 10th, 2008
Here is Olivia calling:
I’m just looking for suggestions for different types of pieces to include in a portfolio for admissions to an art college. What did you have in yours? Did any specific pieces provoke the attention of admissions in your interview? What do you think they liked best?

Just tell me your story! 
and if it makes a difference I am applying to transfer to the Cleveland Institute of Art for next fall. Currently though I am attending a community college.

Lots and lots of still lives.
Drawing from real life, and not a photograph.
Sketches, journals, unfinished doodles.
Pieces that pertain to the major you’re going into.
Anything you’ve created in community college and/or on your own - if they’re too big to bring along, take good pictures of them from all angles.
I have lots of visual journals, stenciled pieces, gesture drawings, fashion sketches…I never presented my portfolio because my plans changed rather quickly (I’m at a community college too), but I’ve gotten feedback from a few teachers/profs. Anything you’ve made, whether you like it or not, will give you a good start.
Good luck!
