Developing a strong portfolio usually requires between 20 and 24 sessions. The Spring Term
is the best time to start preparing a portfolio.
| Objective:
Students interested in the fine arts and applying to high school or middle school will produce original work to develop
an art portfolio. Artwork will be created in a variety of styles and techniques, utilizing traditional and contemporary methods
with an imaginative and creative approach.
A final evaluation and selection of 15 to 20 pieces will constitute
the portfolio. All selected pieces will be mounted and properly labeled before auditions/interviews. 90% of our students
are accepted into LaGuardia High School.

ability to draw from observation, compose a picture, and use color in an effective way.
