Portfolio Development Intensive Ages 16 – 18 The Visual Arts Center of New Jersey is pleased to introduce Portfolio Development Intensive, a new program for aspiring art students. This exciting program offers students the opportunity to produce a complete entrance portfolio for fine arts colleges over the course of four weeks. Based on the curriculums and portfolio requirements of the top five fine arts schools (RISD, School of Visual Arts, Pratt, Parsons, MICA), each week is designed to cover a specific topic. Each topic will be closely examined through demonstrations, hands on exercises, critiques and art history lessons, and will conclude with a class critique which parents are invited to attend. In addition to the 4 week sessions, there are supplementary Digital Photography workshops in which each student will have the opportunity to photograph their artwork with professional equipment and build a digital library of their work.
