Senior Portfolio Class (11th to 12th grade)

We separated this class where the student is able to complete Regular Requirement Projects and Special Requirement Projects. This class is for the senior and Junior High School Students and the College Transfer Students. This class will allow the student to show his or her full potential and skills to the college evaluators.

The Regular Portfolio Class will start by the student mastering pencil techniques and gaining complete sketching skills, Once that is complete, the student will be able to do projects such as Drawing, Pastel, Watercolor, Acrylic, Oil Painting, 3D, Mix Media, and Computer Graphics. Within these mediums it is important or the student to find out what there best medium is and what they are most creative with. The Special Requirement Portfolio is an assignment given by certain schools where they give the students a theme, size, and medium. Usually they require about 2 to 4 Of these projects and creativity is absolutely the most important factor in this part of the student’s portfolio.

Junior Portfolio Class (10th to 11th grade)

Beginning from January in your sophomore year to December in your junior year, the student will be part of the Junior Portfolio Class. With 2 years left until the student has to submit his or her portfolio, the student will first completely master their individual skills and the majority of the time will be spent to work on creative projects where the student will be able to finish the basic part Of their portfolio. Usually, if the student took part Of our Intermediate Class, there is very minimum time spent on mastering skills and will have a much easier time in this class.

College Transfer Class

This is a class dedicated to help students in a 2 year / 4 year program in college transfers to the major of their choice. Most colleges will ask for students to have a strong foundation, creative ideas and projects based off of your major. As transfer students it is important to play to our strengths and showcase what we are truly passionate about and good at. Each student will have a different curriculum to help us make a portfolio that works for them. Not only will students be able to make portfolio, they will also be able to build the skill set and confidence making the transition as smooth as possible.

Basic and Introduction (8th to 9th grade)

This is for 4th to 9th grade students. It was created for mastering the foundation of art. This class is important because this is the class where we will see the student improve and develop their art skills. He or she will learn to draw with pencil, charcoal, pastel, acrylic and watercolor.

AP Art and Supplemental Portfolio Class (10th to 12th grade)

In the AP art class we help the students come up with ideas, organization, time management and make sure the quality of their work gives them the best chance to get a high score. The Minor Portfolio Class is available for students who would like to minor in art and design or double major. Although it is less rigorous than the Major Portfolio Class we make sure the portfolio is sufficient enough to get the students into the college of their choice.
