So far this school year, most of our portfolio club students' work has been limited to colored pencils and regular #2 writing pencils. These ambitious youngsters desperately want to take their talents to the next level with higher quality drawing materials and acrylic paint. With these new materials like acrylics and pastels, they will be creating work that NYC's top high schools require for application portfolios, such as self portraits, still lives and interiors. They will also make personal and imaginative work that truly shows who they are as individuals. These projects will be self-directed, and include paintings of original anime characters and a pastel series of what is seen outside our windows every day. Giving students the opportunity to use new and high quality materials helps affirm their identity as artists and will make their application portfolios more attractive to NYC's top high schools.
