Services
All of my classes focus on equipping students with age-appropriate foundational techniques, and the confidence they need to tackle their art school application. For those with live or timed audition components we practice time management strategies, interview techniques, and artist statements. For those submitting portfolios we go in-depth on how to document works, and cover what works to include, in what order, and why.
This is real, practical skill-building toward meeting the niche criteria of arts school applications.
