Examples of Winning Art Portfolios

Explore art portfolios that got our students into top colleges.

These are Art Portfolios created by our students. Some joined our program as beginners, some enrolled while taking AP Art classes, and some came to us after receiving rejection letters from art colleges. They all had one thing in common: their art was not strong enough to get accepted.

After graduating from the Portfolio Program, our students' results exceeded even their own expectations with college acceptances and the amount of scholarships they received. No two portfolios are alike, because art training is personalized to each student.

All of the portfolios below were created with the help of our online training. The Portfolio Program helps match portfolio requirements for the top art colleges. Our portfolio specialists are professional artists who work with teens to help them transform their skills, create ambitious projects, and find their voice. Our teachers commit to each student until their portfolio is finalized and submitted.

If you need to strengthen your portfolio, or want to know more about the program and when you can join, contact us.
