UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
Foundation Portfolios that are submitted for a regular application to a foreign school normally should include 15~20 pieces of: Object Drawing + Painting + Video
completed with a high level of artistic skill and saved in a digital file.
A well-completed Foundation Portfolio plays an important part in a school's decision to accept an applicant and to reward the applicant with scholarship aid while providing a solid foundation for future success in the classroom.
The standard class is a course that begins step-by-step from the basics to complete a Foundation Portfolio that is geared towards new applicants and transfer applicants. It is a 1~2 year course designed for those with little to no practice in art and those with experience with applications to foreign art schools.
We hold 18 classes per week throughout the year which can be scheduled in 4-week blocs of 12 classes. Classes are conducted through one-on-one instruction by instructors who have extensive experience in studying art abroad with a maximum of 12 students at a time.
