Cre8sArt School focuses on the preparation of finished portfolio pieces in a variety of media and approaches. The session includes intensive one-on-one instruction and counseling prepared towards each student’s individual goals and admission requirements. All supplies are provided, and each student receives a professionally photographed digital portfolio of the work at the completion of the course.

​

Our program will help students create portfolios for the schools of their choice for Art Colleges/Programs. Instructors provide specific and customized requirements from student’s selected schools to tailor the program to a multitude of formats. The course is offered twice a week as an intensive 12 week program for students to create various  works to include in their portfolio. During the program students will revisit the fundamentals of drawing, painting, printmaking, and other materials in the classical tradition, as well as experiment and learn about new medias. 

 

Our students from our Portfolio Prep Courses have been accepted to Maryland Institute College of Art, School of Visual Arts, as well as many others.

You need to make a time commitment and be consistent in preparation.
