This is great! I am a tv-directing student, but this is really inspiring even for my subject. I think this is a really good example of how a portfolio should look like. But the best part is how good you are at articulating defining terms of what censors look at. Really great video!
This will be so helpful. I'm a product design student and I was so nervous if I would even have a chance to be accepted for architecture...This helped a lot to understand how to present my work, ty! :>
incredible. I'm in the summer right before yr13 and Im struggling on making my portfolio. Watching this and a couple other videos made me realise actually how easy it is to create an expressive and innovative, personalised presentation. Even though there was not much multimedia, you really defined and mastered your style and it definitly worked! I want to ask if you have any other bits of work like sketch books, essays, etc. I just want to see the quality I need, especially for the personal study in a-level art. Thanks a lot!!!!
no worries!!! im so glad it was helpful!!! in terms of my actual a level sketchbook hand in i never picked it up from school LMAO so god knows where it is. as for the personal essay - don't stress at all!!! the quality of essay isn't expected to be like that of an English literature essay, as long as it's relevant to your project you'll be more than okay. good luck with year 13❣️
@@exteriorarchives ok whew Thanks for responding. I really though I needed like a perfect personal study but now I feel much better about refining it. Tysm!!! All the best ❤️❤️❤️
Hey I just realised, cambridge only wants 6 pages for their applicant's portfolio on pdf. If you still have it/had it at all, can you please show that as well? 6 pages seems tiny for basically two years of work
this is an amazing portfolio!! and its so cool that you've linked the human anatomy + your identity within your portfolio! may I ask what paper size (such as A4, A3 etc) did you use for your drawings in your portfolio? :D
thank you! the portfolio submission is all online (unless they're changing it in coming years?), so don't worry too much about the size. i used a5 for most of the sketches and a4 for everything else ❣️
Do you have any tips to improve drawing skills, im currently doing art GCSE and considering architecture and think i might do art a level but i dont think my art is good enough to actually do it and get a good grade.
draw all the time!!!! you have to be patient and consistent! draw from life as well and understand the importance of perspective and proportion. once you have those two fundamentals down, other things (i.e light, shadows, backgrounds) will come also. you will be more than fine for a level - people improve exponentially over the two years so just be patient w urself and do a little bit everyday ❣️
Hey were all your drawings free hand? Because I’m confused on the Ucl portfolio requirements they gave a whole list on what to include like you have to do 6 free hand drawings and it has to be timed?
You recommended this for a transfer student I’m currently going to UB but I wanna transfer to Pratt do you think I should stick to the architecture side of the things or just do what I like
im so sorry, im not too familiar with how things work in the US! im based in the uk! buuut i honestly think do what you think is most fulfilling and enjoyable. architecture is very energy consuming so if its not something you enjoy, you'll feel constantly drained. best of luck w everything ❣️
in all honesty im not quite sure? probably bc they assume that at undergrad you have little to no knowledge ab architecture, so theyd rather u have good technical skills and can talk about developmening ur own work
should the works in my portfolio be overall well rounded or can it be diverse? Because I noticed a lot of your work is on human bodies and anatomy and I started getting worried if all my works should have the same theme😭😭
no not at all! they dont have to connect or have a flow, as long as you're able to discuss them cohesively and as long as theyre intentional (or you can make it up and make it sound intentional) then its all good!
if i remember correctly its after you submit your ucas application. they send you an email w all the details on portfolio submission but double check just in case bc its been like two years lol

Yep I’m screwed, I’m so bad at drawing

@@exteriorarchives thank you so much 😊
how did you turn your charcoal and graphite drawings digital? btw this is really good !
thank you! i didnt turn them digital - i just scanned them in to place them in my portfolio :)
Hey were all your drawings free hand? Because I’m confused on the Ucl portfolio requirements they gave a whole list on what to include like you have to do 6 free hand drawings and it has to be timed?
hii yes they were! however they didnt set those guidlines for us - it changes annually! especially as my cohort was just getting out of covid/lockdown

Genuinely curious. Why does architecture need animation/art school portfolios?
in all honesty im not quite sure? probably bc they assume that at undergrad you have little to no knowledge ab architecture, so theyd rather u have good technical skills and can talk about developmening ur own work
Because drawing gives you basic visualization skills. Helps with imagining creations that don't exist in real life.
hi your portfolio is amazing i saw someone say that in ucl interviews they ask you to draw is that true?😭
not for me! but it might change annually?? so dont take my word for it!
@ ohh okay thank you so much for the reply🩷🩷🩷🩷
Hey, did you have the text in your portfolio when you sent it or was it for the purpose of this video?
yes the text was there!
should the works in my portfolio be overall well rounded or can it be diverse? Because I noticed a lot of your work is on human bodies and anatomy and I started getting worried if all my works should have the same theme😭😭
no not at all! they dont have to connect or have a flow, as long as you're able to discuss them cohesively and as long as theyre intentional (or you can make it up and make it sound intentional) then its all good!
u need to learn anatomy in architecture now ?
Nah, have to show some creative aptitude
@@ggedits9533 yes exactly! no point in drawing a bunch of buildings when you're applying for undergrad (unless thats what u actually enjoy)
do i have to submit my portfolio along with my personal statement by october for cambridge?
if i remember correctly its after you submit your ucas application. they send you an email w all the details on portfolio submission but double check just in case bc its been like two years lol
hey doesn't it have to be 10 pages long for UCL
hiya, it depends on the annual requirements & the specific course
Hi! Can I ask what grades you got in Alevels?
i got a*, a* and b in english lit, art and maths
Why’s there no architecture but humans?
Because they don't want architectural drawings
Im so glad, that there have videos like this🩵🤩
Also, I wanted ask about application
Did i need to study at the foundation of the university to get grants or scholarships?
This really really helped me at the last minute I’m much more confident now thank u🥲🥲❤️
