The portfolio institute provides an exceptional opportunity for students to construct and refine a visual body of work under the guidance of visual arts faculty drawn from around the country.
All instructors have extensive experience in portfolio development and will guide students through portfolio preparation for college art programs or for Interlochen Arts Academy.
Institutes are designed for students who are actively exploring further education in the visual arts and have already started to compile works. Activities will provide numerous opportunities to add additional work to the student’s portfolio.
Activities include:
- intensive class sessions
- workshops and seminars focused on concepts of portfolio development
- daily presentations to peers
- portfolio reviews by college representatives
- open studio time for students to continue working on projects
Other subjects include:
- how to research schools and programs to find the best match
- specific requirements for the application process
- how to present yourself and your work to a panel
- how to document your work
