Benefits Beyond College Admission
Not only do we help you get accepted into art college, but our Portfolio Program will also prepare you for the college experience. You will enter your first year with confidence knowing that you’ve already performed at a college level. You will become familiar with developing concepts behind your art, creating cohesiveness, and showcasing and discussing your work through presentations and art critiques.
After Completing The Prima Materia Art Portfolio, You Will:
- Know what to expect in a college art class
- Excel academically
- Build confidence in yourself as an artist
- Gain recognition from your professors for your artistic maturity
- Be well on your way to a professional art career
Prima Materia and our classes are always here for our grads. Portfolio alumni can continue to access Prima Materia’s support throughout and after college.
We frequently have our grads come back during the summer to take classes and prepare for exhibitions. Students tell us that our classes provide fun and inspiration outside the required college courses. For example, Valentina, a 2020 Portfolio Grad and currently enrolled at UAL, recently attended a coaching class that sparked an idea for a major project in her college class.
