一想到要帮学生准备大学申请作品集，你是否感到压力山大？我也是！ 一份出色的作品集，不仅能助学生进入理想大学，更能为其打开奖学金之门！
我班上有几位学生有意攻读美术专业，因此我们正集中精力筹备他们的作品集。在调研“如何呈现最优质作品集”时，我搜集到以下网站与视频资源，内容都非常实用！
作品集究竟是什么？
作品集是你申请美术专业时，提交供评审的个人最佳美术作品合集。
美术作品集准备要点
所选作品应体现你对美术领域深入学习的兴趣与能力。
- 所选作品应在技法上展现多样性，在题材上体现丰富性；
- 可使用任何媒介创作（如油画、摄影、水彩、油画棒等）；
- 作品可为黑白或彩色；
- 内容可包括课堂作业、自主创作及素描本中的习作。
第一步是列出拟申请的大学名单，并逐一联系各校招生部门，获取其特定的作品集与入学要求。部分学校会将要求公布于官网。多数美术专业要求作品涵盖三大类：观察性绘画、个人创作、居家考试题。有些院校要求提交其中两类或三类的组合，也有院校仅指定一类。
观察性绘画
观察性绘画指采用传统方式，以静物、人体模特、肖像或风景为对象进行写生，力求精准再现真实对象。画面不得取材于照片或凭空想象，而须直接源于现实生活。作品尺寸建议约为18英寸×24英寸或更大，且须布满整张纸面或画布。此类作品多使用铅笔、炭笔等素描媒介完成，但亦可包含绘画与拼贴。
个人创作
个人创作指课堂之外独立完成的作品，反映艺术家在材料运用、题材选择与观念表达上的独特兴趣。媒介不限，包括（但不限于）素描、绘画、摄影、综合材料、数字/电脑艺术、影像/视频、陶艺、雕塑、动画及行为艺术。
居家考试题
居家考试题指某所大学或院系特别指定的创作任务。（例如：罗德岛设计学院（RISD）曾要求所有作品集中必须包含一幅“自行车”主题的素描。）

部分高校作品集要求示例：
本科新生申请人应提交12至20件作品，须为高中（中学）阶段完成的最优秀、最新近之作。作品可涵盖素描、绘画、雕塑、版画、摄影及其他媒介。内容应突出你的优势，也可体现你在课堂外的兴趣与实践。强烈建议包含若干幅写生素描（而非想象创作或临摹照片）。

Does the thought of helping a student prepare their portfolio for colleges intimidate you-it does me! Having a great portfolio can help student’s get into the college they want & open doors for scholarships!
I have some students who are interested in pursing an art degree, so we have been working on their portfolios. I came along these websites & videos in researching what we need to present the best portfolios possible. They all have great information!
What exactly is a portfolio?
It’s a collection of your best pieces of artwork that you submit for review when you apply to an art program.
Art Portfolio Prep
Selections for your portfolio should express your interest and aptitude for a serious education in the arts.
- The pieces you select should illustrate diversity in technique and variety in subject matter
- You may display work in any medium (oils, photography, watercolors, pastels,etc.)
- Pieces can either black-and-white or color.
- Your work can include classroom assignments, independent projects, and pieces from your sketchbook.
The first step is to create a list of colleges that you are planning to apply to and contact each of their admissions departments to obtain their particular portfolio and admissions requirements. Sometimes they put the requirements online. Most art programs will want to see works that fall into three distinct categories: observational art, personal art or a home exam. Some colleges will require a combination of two or three categories, and others will want to see only one category.
Observational Art
Observational art is drawing or painting in a traditional method using a still life, figure model, portrait or landscape as the subject and rendering the subject as accurately as possible. The image should not be taken from a photograph or the artists’ imagination, but from real life. Size of the artwork should be approximately 18′′ x 24′′ or larger in scale and fill the entire surface of the paper or canvas. Most work in this category is done in pencil, charcoal, or other drawing mediums, but it can also include painting and collage.
Personal Art
Personal art is the work done outside of a classroom situation and reflects the artists’ unique interests in use of materials, subject matter and concept. Work can be completed in any media including (but not limited to) drawing, painting, photography, mixed media, digital/computer art, film/video, ceramics, sculpture, animation and performance art.
Home Exam
The home exam consists of specific work that has been required by a particular college or department. (Example: Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in the past has asked that all portfolios include a drawing of a “bicycle”.)
LOTS MORE INFO in handout I made for my students from these articles (FREE): Art Portfolio Preparation Handout
Example College Portfolio Requirements:
Freshman applicants should submit a portfolio of 12 to 20 pieces that represents your best and most recent work from high school (secondary school). Your portfolio can include examples of drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and work in other media. It should emphasize your strengths. The portfolio may also represent your interests and involvement outside the classroom. It is strongly suggested that some samples of drawing from observation (rather than from imagination or copied from photographs) be included. http://www.mica.edu/Admission_and_Financial_Aid/Undergraduate_Admission_and_Financial_Aid/Preparing_Your_Portfolio/Portfolio_Preparation_for_Freshmen.htm
