Portfolio development
Your portfolio is a critical part of the admissions
process. When preparing your portfolio think of your audience, your
strengths, and what you are trying to express to the viewer. A well-developed
portfolio can assist you in gaining acceptance to CCAD, as well as
increase your chances of being awarded a scholarship.
Think of the following items when developing a new
piece of work for your portfolio:
- Consider overlap of shapes/objects to create a
sense of depth in space. Variety in size, shape, and texture will
add interest to the image.
- Utilize the entire frame of reference. Give your
image a foreground, middle ground, and background to create the illusion
of space.
- Establish a strong, defined light source and be
sure to display very light highlights to very deep shadows.
Some image ideas include: a self-portrait, drawings
of human figures, still-life objects of a certain theme, and drawings
of buildings or interiors.
