Transcript of Drawn to Success Portfolio Building Boot Camp
If you want to apply to an arts college, consider these facts...
Getting into arts college is as difficult as getting into Harvard? It’s the same 30:1 odds of acceptance – that means that up to 97% get rejected every year.
Between 500 and 4,000 students apply to each program every year?
To get into the best art and design programs, it takes more than high school art?
The number one comment grade 12 prospective art students make is that they wish they had started in grade 11?
Do the artworks in your portfolio look like this?
If so, then you need the help of these guys!
