Adding a Surrealist drawing, painting, sculpture, or mixed media piece to your Art Portfolio is a great way to show Admissions Counselors your unique imagination, which also says a lot about who you are.
If you’ve never tried to make Surrealist Art you may be surprised by how much you’ll like it! One of the reasons you may love making a Surrealist piece so much is because of the freedom it gives you. You can choose any medium that you’re most comfortable creating realistic art with, and give yourself time to focus on the Surrealist subject matter you’ll use.

Interior pieces are considered by many schools to be one of the most important works to have in your Art Portfolio.
One way to create an interior is by using collage. Making a Collage for your Art Portfolio is a really great idea, and making a collage is enjoyable and fun. We usually think of a collage as gluing magazine and newspaper cut-outs to a background, but you can also use a lot of different materials- which we love to do in our Portfolio Prep classes.

Mixed Media Sculpture by .art Art Portfolio Prep Student
- include your idea sketches with your very involved, more conceptual Art Portfolio pieces. When done well, it can really elevate the work
One way to make your Art Portfolio stand out is to include Sculptural work, this is because it’s important to show admissions that you can use a range of mediums & techniques
Including sculptural work in your Art Portfolio shows an ability to think creatively and a willingness to experiment and try new things- which is important for Admissions to see in a potential candidate for their school

Art school admissions counselors request drawings and/or paintings of hands because it gives them an idea of the applicant’s ability to perceive and render functional structure, proportion, and light on form in a realistic manner. Even better if you can incorporate the major you're applying to like this .art Fashion Design Portfolio Prep student did with this mixed media drawing.
