  • Design, Digital Art, Sculpture, Figure Drawing Portfolio:
    Showcase a student's passion and talent in their intended field of study. These portfolios are major-focused, with 5 to 10 out of 20 submitted pieces specifically dedicated to their chosen discipline.

  • Choosing Courses Based on Portfolio Needs:
    In one course, students typically complete one artwork. However, depending on the size or complexity of the project, students may create more pieces or require additional time. If you are considering taking multiple courses, you can add courses based on the number of artworks needed for your portfolio.
