You should attend this meeting if you have any interest at all of taking art in college. The agenda for the meeting will include:
- University and art school application procedures - When is a portfolio required?
- Art scholarship - What does a scholarship winning portfolio contain?
- AP Art Credit - What do the AP Art exams involve?
- Art registration for 2015 -2016 to assist with portfolio needs.
If you have any interest in taking art in college, you should start to work on your portfolio as early as the 9th grade. I will look forward to answering any portfolio questions you have.
Thank you,
Ms. Susan Smith
Art Department Chairperson
