Portfolio for Art School application - 3D Design Degree

tonyblu331

I want to apply to a couple of art school which I have developed a strong interest. (Art Center, Ringling, Think Tank, SCAD, Gnomon; primarily) I plan to apply to them Late 2017 or Early 2018; I'll start my senior high school year this August.  The problem is I'm more of a graphic design, web design, UI/UX Design than fine arts. So What do you recommend me to include or to do in order to create a nice portfolio.

Depends on the school requirements.  Do all of them require a primarily fine arts portfolio?

Not necessarily, but most they expect that type of work. I may include my graphic and IxD design but I don't to develop it to create more variety as that is what they ask.

Well, what would be helpful especially is if you post all the possible pieces you want to include for your applications here so we can help vet stuff out.  And I mean everything.

Make sure you include any specific requirements, like X number of observational drawings of objects, Y number of figure drawings. Spend the time to create these things to a good level of quality if you don't have them already. There's a reason they look for candidates with a certain level of skill in art before they admit them.
