[quote=Anonymous]We recently did this with DD. We had planned for her to do a summer intensive art program at Ringling (VCU and Pratt and other schools have similar programs) so she could produce some portfolio art and get feedback but this was summer 2021 and the person session was canceled so she withdrew.

Portfolio day is a good idea, also if your child knows any students currently in an art program they can ask to see their portfolio for ideas and also ask for feedback.

Some schools like VCU will do a one-on-one portfolio review with an admissions counselor before submitting. My DD did this. JMU also did an in person portfolio review before the final submission was due.

In the end, the feedback my DD got was that they liked seeing a variety of media, and they also like to see examples of basic figure drawing and observational drawing. She had several examples of both, plus painting, mixed media, needlework, and digital art.

Her teacher was also no help so the input from a friend enrolled at VCU and the portfolio reviews were key. [/quote]
