Portfolio Preparation Workshop

This one-week portfolio preparation class is designed to give students the competitive edge they need when applying to art colleges. Taught by Jean Dahlgren, the Program Coordinator for Graphic Design at the Sage College of Albany, the course will teach students how to create a winning portfolio designed to impress both college admissions offices and art department faculty. Visiting artists will speak to students about what should be in portfolios in the morning. Afternoons will consist of critiques of student work and demonstrations of proper techniques for matting, repairing, and completing artwork. The class meets Monday through Friday from 9am-4pm. The cost of this class is $275 and includes lunch and some supplies.
