Portfolio Preparation For Art College
Renata Hegyi
The application process to Foundation or BA courses can be a disappointing process. This course is suitable to those who need to prepare their portfolio and get ready for interviews. Regardless of your experience or ability this course will help you to develop more work, give you advice on portfolio content and presentation. Throughout the variety of projects you will be expected to produce work for your portfolio during class time and during homework (this will include working from the model and working from still life set up using different media), plus one-to-one tutorials and guided tours to galleries.
Renata Hegyi is a graduate of Byam Shaw School of Art and Royal Academy Schools, and is now a practising artist and an associate lecturer. She won the St. James Award and Residency in 2003.
