✨My Accepted RISD Portfolio✨
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- How I finessed my way into one of the best art colleges??? My entire Illustration portfolio for the class of 2022!
Looking back, I have no idea what I was thinking when I put this portfolio together. I had so many pieces I could've used, but instead I picked this mediocre stuff... RISD still liked it (a lot,, enough to give me a huge scholarship) so I guess it all worked out really well :)
Also, I know that the audio sucks, I'm so sorry I tried something new and it failed :(
I'm not trying to show off, I've worked really hard on not just this portfolio but my entire art career up to this point--- so uhhhh NOT TO FLEXXXXX OR ANYTHING
Please ask me any questions you have about art college applications, my art, or just art in general :))
More info about me:
✨-I've been drawing since I was 3, taking professional classes since I was 6.
✨-I've won a plethora of competitions- probably what got me that scholarship
✨-I had a couple of leadership positions in high school such as the fencing captain, the french club president, and the National Art Honor Society president. I didn't just do art my entire life, I tried to branch out! Extracurriculars are important!
✨-I've taken a good amount of AP's, but I never overloaded my schedule. My personality is the type to want everything to be the best it can possibly be, so I've kept straight A's since I was in school in the first place. That means I ended with a 4.0 unweighted (4.4 weighted!)-- it didn't kill me to get it, just a lot of work. Don't push yourself TOO hard, figure out what college you wanna go to and find their standards and try to exceed those, saves you a lot of work.
✨--My SAT score is quite terrible (by my standards) because I simply didn't study very hard for it. The only thing I slacked on my entire high school career is my SAT lmao I know its important but I just couldn't push myself anymore.
✨-My commonapp essay was pretty good in my opinion, I tied in how I was bilingual and how art helped me learn a new language. I've heard that you shouldn't write about art when applying to art college (from RISD themselves) but who knows?
Are you still reading?? lmao

Also, I did use reference for many of pieces, but in my high school and art class that was encouraged-- i understand many people have different opinions on whether that is right or wrong, but I have recreated pieces with my skill level, and no one has ever told me not to. Although I no longer use references as heavily as I did in high school, I do admit that often times my pieces would be HEAVILY inspired,,, I'd just like to let everyone who has commented know that I have learned and grown, and I no longer do what I used to in high school obviously :) Things change, thats just how it be :)
✨✨Thank's so much for watching!✨✨
Please read the description before asking questions! Thanks for watching n thanks for the support :))
I wonder what kind of material did you use for your 3D piece. Could you please tell me what they are made of? Thanks a lot~
Probably just me, but at 5:20, the boy at the very top looks like Bretman Rock xD. Regardless, you're an incredible artist! ♥
Fantastic work Tiffany...the range, the compositions, the mind boggling details, amazing indeed
At risd, Pratt, and parsons, are nude drawing required ?? Cuz if they are I can’t do art because of my religion rip 💀
You are insanely pretty.
“Finessed my way in” girl you DESTROYED that portfolio you worked and earned your way in. Serious respect for how beautifully well rounded and distinctive this portfolio is
Nah honestly it’s shit
@@1a2b3c4d_ hater. Just admit you're jealous and move on
@@1a2b3c4d_ did you get into risd? where's your video?
“I don’t think this is very good but...” *pulls out the Mona Lisa*
bethisprobablysleeping I kid you not after every photo she showed I paused it and went “your making me lose hope in ever getting into art school because there’s just no way I can whip out the Mona Lisa why am I watching this?!”
Not to put myself down or anything but yeah
@@drawingfandome Don't feel too bad, she is the cream of the top D: and RISD is very difficult to get into. There are many other art schools that still have a great curriculum, RISD might not be right for you which is fine. I am applying to SVA for animation this year and my portfolio is nowhere near this level of technical skill, but I still think I have a shot. Good luck to you!

@@obilim2155 i thank you for this comment it was a year ago but it’s helpful i have another school added to my list .do you have any tips on where ever you are now how is it going .if you do see this reply to your comment 😬
@@br3.e_o570 Hi! I applied to SVA and MICA for animation and I was accepted into both! I might make a portfolio video some time, I don’t think my portfolio was crazy strong. I didn’t go to either because I thought it was way too expensive and the pandemic made me sure I wanted to go to community college first. I go to Montgomery College and I’m majoring in animation right now. I may transfer to umbc or mica.
Even if you don’t have the money to go to art school, I’d say applying to see if you can get in is still valuable. Shooting for that goal forced me to draw from life more and learn art more seriously. Best of luck to you!
im not even an art student and Im still watching this
edited in 2020: omg so many likes haha Watched the video once more and enjoyed the video all over again
lmaooooo thank you hahahah thats so funny
me too
Same 😂❤️
You don't need to be an art student to watch this. You watch this cause this is interesting and you get to see beautiful artworks for 22 min so why not ?
"these took me... 15, 20 minutes" *GIIIIRL THAT WOULD TAKE ME 15-20 HOURS*
ME TOOOOO
That’s what I was thinking haha
Because I'm slow.... It would take me days
I HATE that humble arrogance. “It’s not that good it’s not that bad”. “One of the worst things I’ve ever painted” I dislike her personality strongly but she’s great at what she does
@@iworshipgaysandsatan6822 More like she can tell what's bad more than other people can because her analysis skills of flaws is higher than other people less advanced? lol
Her: it’s not my best work, but I like it
Me, a non-artist: hwhatitsamazingwhatdoyoumeanitsnotthatgood
Oh it’s art. Hands down.
She didn't say it was bad tho
Wtf high school are you going to?! All they showed me how to do my freshman year was how to draw an apple, and I still can't do it.
Kookie Katcher they didn’t TEACH me anything, just gave me prompts and I did the best I could. Don’t rely on AP art classes in high school to teach you anything tbh
I go to RISD and to be honest you just have to learn on your own don't relay on other people to make your art. Just do what you think is fun, don't over think it. I didn't start drawing until high school and didn't even start my portfolio until junior year when I just realized I wanted to apply to art schools. Just be creative and different! If you look like everyone else's portfolio then they wont notice you. You don't even need that many drawings either if your not good at that. :0
Exactly
Tommy D yeah... I got to a makeup school not art school, but the main reason why I even SWITCHED to AP Studio Arts on the second half of my high school year, was because of the FREEDOM to create what ever tf u want. It’s more fun to me and honestly helped me in the makeup school I go to as well, since me being able to confidently create art with my own ideas and “rules” helped me stand out from the rest without even having to tlk about my accomplishments as an artist.
don't know about college classes cuz high school art classes just give you prompts. all of the learning is through your own work, like trying to identify what's wrong with the anatomy, fixing it, trying to improve until you're satisfied with the style, etc
when she shows the saddle drawing and says that she drew it FRESHMAN year...
and that it was "not that bad"
BRUH it's so good
you are *so* incredibly talented
Thank you!
acier I'm not meaning to be rude and I totally agree with you but in the description it says that she has been taking art classes since she was 6 years old. I think with the right amount of determination and talent, everybody could draw and paint about this well under these circumstances. ^^ (But yeah, I'm still extremely impressed by the artworks shown in the video. I'd totally go crazy over having to paint/draw so many details xd)
I dont like the word talented :/ prefer skillfull
@@jakobgjertsen2801 Talent is really just another way to say perseverance and passion. A few people have it, a lot don't.
@@loshistudios2446 talent means "inborn skill".
YOUR OCTOPUS IS CRAZY! Your work is so detailed. See you at risd c:
THANK YOU SO MUCH AHHH I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU AT RISD :)
Now i want to know did u 2 met? 😀
Yup me to I want to know
Did you two meet???
@@ihh4427 ahah yeay
RISD is literally my dream college that I wanna go to, but seeing your drawings really made me realize that, it’s going to take more that some “cartoon” artwork in order to get into this place. Thanks to you, I’m learning the basics of realism and slowly climbing my way to reach my goal, thanks again.
Practice drawing from life! So many students are only drawing from photos, and that can really limit your drawing skills. Carrying a sketchbook everywhere with you is a good way to start that as a habit.
People criticizing her for being "unoriginal" or a "copier" are seriously immature and lacking in perspective.
1. Copying other work is literally part of the learning and development process. In ANY creative discipline you will be expected to copy and adapt prexisting styles and works so you can LEARN from them. (Art, Music, Literature, Cuisine, Film they all do it) This is a very common approach to developing your own unique voice and it's obvious from the very WIDE variety of styles she included that this is what she's doing. She's showing that she's experimental, versatile and adaptable which is very important because of reason #2
2. She's applying for graphic design. When you work in the graphic design industry it's very common that you will run into clients who have prexisting brand styles or their own aesthetic that you will need to adapt to. As a professional she could be working on a Nike March Madness ad campaign on monday, developing a cartoon welcome package for a children's hospital on wednesday, and putting together a promo catalog for New York Fashion Week by friday. If she wants a job in that type of industry I would fucking HOPE that her sense of style and aesthetic is flexible enough to make convincing designs for all three of those situations on any given day. For any of you to be badmouthing her for being FLEXIBLE and OPEN MINDED, two qualities that are highly useful in the industry she's going for, that is just so ignorant and clueless. Which by the way,
3. If you have any real sense of art you would be able to see that she wasn't just copying work like a soul-less robot. Each piece included varying levels of her own personal savvy and I'm sure that was evident to whoever judged her portfolio. Yes, she passed in all other regards (grades, curriculars whatever,) but the fact that her portfolio itself was very decent, is to me, kind of the point of this video. This is essentially a resume for the department she's trying to get into. Everything she included had to be relevant to what they needed to see in a good student. This wasn't her time to be like "look at how original I am, this my BRAND" she was SUPPOSED to be like "look how prolific and varied I am, I can handle whatever you throw at me!" She may or may not have her own very defined and very unique style, but the fact of the matter is that showing off her "unique style" was not relevant in this situation. She showed good technical ability and design sense across various mediums and styles. Experimenting and developing her technical ability are clearly the priorities here and she's actually doing very well for it. If you're going to be reductive and criticize her for "copying" then you're missing the bigger picture.
period !!
so does this mean its totally okay to include master copies of famous paintings/other people's artwork in your portfolio? i'm kind of confused by this since i am building a portfolio from scratch without having taken art classes beforehand?
@@minminnnn no. Unless your message is fantastic/ very powerful. Its better to either manipulate or just create something yourself.
@Audrey M. thanks anyway. i got in my course and it turned out ok because i was going for graphic design :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Up until the the 18 minute mark o was super motivated and like “this seems awesome I could totally get in when I apply” and then she said her grades were like 4.0 and I deflated so fast.
sorry for asking I'm from another country with marks from 1-6. Is that the best you can get?
BananeKiwi199 yeah.
also the like 78567586748 awards hkjjhhjvg
The best score you can get is like 5.2, the top student in my school had a 5.1 gpa. However a 4.0 gpa is like having all A’s and the only way to have a higher gpa is taking honors or AP classes
BananeKiwi199 bist du deutsch hahah
are you kidding me I love that strawberry field painting!!!
I am starting my AP portfolio and my teacher is an AP reader. In class he was showing examples of works he really loved while being a reader and one of them was yours!!
Wow, which one?
**puts out masterpiece**
*"Its not that bad"*
kshsjakaiwuwoqqk
I cant draw hand.
The "I can't even draw a stick figure" spiel is getting old
You don't have to be 18 to take a figure study class! You just need a parent's signature!
wow well I'm a dummy hahaha thanks for letting me know
i know parsons lets high school freshmen do nude figure drawing in their youth classes
Sophie Bradshaw is
Oh my god I’m so glad I found your comment
We don't do them in the Uk, "health and safety" I guess... cri
As a much older practicing artist who did my time in art school, got scholarships, went on to have works in important collections and museums ---- I can say that I was pleasantly surprised at the excellence of your portfolio. Better than most art school applicants, I daresay. Whether you go into illustration or another avenue, you will do well. Congratulations.
When 3 silver medals was the biggest L of her life lolol pierced through my soul. But in all seriousness, your artwork is gorgeous, and I hope you push through the art community and succeed! Art was always something I loved, but I ended up focusing more on school and am now in an esteemed university for electrical engineering. Sometimes I think back if this could be where I was at if I had steered myself in the other direction. Either way, great work and would love to see more of you from the future!
I NEED A SKETCHBOOK TOUR!!!
ITS IN THE WORKS!! SUBSCRIBE SO YOU DONT MISS IT WHEN IT COMES OUT :)
Tiffany Weng akshshhss already did 🤙🏻
"Its pretty good for freshman year" brooooo im over here like is that a picture or a painting
Wow brilliant artwork! I wish I went down the art path, but I’ll have to live vicariously through people like you :).
The way the whole portfolio is engineered in an amazing way , she really took her time and nailed the requirements
1- I’m not American
2- I’m not an art student
3- I’m literally a freshman
And yet I kinda loved this video 🥺
Elijah García same
Same but I'm in year 9 which I think is 8th grade. Maybe that's the same as Freshman but I don't think so idk
your skill in art is so versatile and im almost mad that i wasnt blessed with a talent like this. another design technique that i admired in your large octopus picture was the fact that the background connecting with the octopus is reminiscent of an octopuses ability to change its colour and texture to blend into its surroundings. just something that popped into my head while watching this.
You're creativity is insane! I was planning to apply to RISD, but looking at my work I'm so nervous it's not good enough.
Don’t worry! The worst that’ll happen is that they won’t accept you but they don’t have to be your only option
You won't know until you apply!! Go for it!
The plastic bag with the goldfish in dirty water and reflection is by far my favorite piece. Great job.
u should make a “pieces you wish you’d included in ur portfolio” or “pieces you’d add Now” video !!
Her art is absolutely gorgeous omg
“glitch” is my favorite type of art style ugh i love it
Your works about animals are the best for sure! I love the chickens, the fishes and obviously the octopus O_O insane!
Seeing art this good makes me cry and realize that I am shit
aw girl dont cry, i've felt like that for a while but you just need to keep learning!
The octopus piece is literally INCREDIBLE😍 id buy that no matter what the price would be
you're so pretty :)
awww thank you :)
nice vid but the audio is so bad
It adds character
@@ZeusV6 yes sirr
amaaazing - I submitted a Kahlo-inspired piece in my portfolio too! your video might have encouraged me to do an accepted portfolio video 👀 i feel like as an international student my experience applying to college in the US was completely different from yours. loved your videooooo, everything you showed was beautiful. my favorite piece was the first one you showed - mind👏blown👏
do it please
Holy! You're super talented. Don't stop what you're doing now. Have fun in RISD ;DD
The octopus looks lit as hell. I can see how much effort you put in that piece. Nice Job Girl!!!!
THANK YOU!
what even, i'm so glad you got accepted! you're so talented!
thank you!
Every time I watch something like this I feel crap about my art...
SAME LMAO
Ahhhh im still so thankful for your help for GHP and THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS AMAZING VIDEO WITH YOUR AMAZING ART! You are literal perfection!
AHHHH RINA NO PROBLEM I HOPE YOU HAVE (OR HAD) SO MUCH FUN!!!!!
I’m currently in middle school and am considering RISD. For the future this video was very helpful
I'm glad this was helpful :)
Don’t, it’s a trash school
Please if youre going down the art road, DO NOT COPY ANY ARTISTS WORK EXCEPT FROM YOUR OWN AND PLEASE DONT COPY PICTURES. observational drawings give you a level of professionalism and unique style that her art work doesn't show.
All your art is crazy good. Pft "Finessed" gurl you got in because you're epic.
lmaooooo hahahah thank you!
Your an amazing artist! You art years from now is going to be legendary!
HELLO! Current college art student here, your art is beautiful and you have wonderful skill (talent sounds like you were born with skill, it takes a lot of hard work and practice to understand how to make elegant artwork). I noticed that for most of your artwork you point out what you don't like. Don't undersell yourself! You are your biggest advocate and your attitude about your work will effect how others view and value your work. If you don't highly value your work, that gives a potential client or company a reason to either A. Not invest in your work or B. Invest much less than it is worth. Draw attention to what is well done and show people that your accomplishments shine brighter than your weaknesses. People will view you and your work more positively. Only speak about weaknesses in a critique--after you point out your strengths. This way, you still stay grounded and see where you can improve.
Every time you say one of your art pieces weren't that good I was like WHAT!? THAT LOOKS AMAZING! Congrats on getting into RISD! I can't wait to see more of your artwork. Also, love the makeup!
Lol you all getting pressed but she’s the one who got into risd 😂
Just proves that rhode isn't worth my time
Gracie Dadino no it proves that you weren’t up to par for Rhode. You need them, they don’t need you.
@@vixx2976 uhhh idk if you meant that to sound rude,,,, but it sounds rude
@@Sage-yw8ly lol they defo did but it's also true so...
celeste i mean I’m not okay with people trying to discredit this girl. She did her work and she got accepted and now people are shitting on her so at this point I’m don’t have sympathy for the jealous people in the comments.
The high school I went to didn't even offer AP art classes
This is insane, your art is amazing
awww thank you!
you're very talented! you have a bright future ahead :) congrats into getting into RISD!
thank you!
These are all beautiful! As an artist myself, I hope that my art can be as detailed and I can use color as well as you do one day. I love watching videos seeing people's art portfolios because it always inspires me to keep going with my art because I see their art and I want mine to look as good as theirs one day. Thank you for inspiring me❤. I am in 8th grade, and my dream is to one daybe an artist and go to art school. I just got a job working with my old art teacher teaching kids from ages 5-12. My dreams are finally becoming reality. This is a message to every artist and anybody who reads this who loves art. Your art is BEAUTIFUL, and you are BEAUTIFUL so keep going with your art, and never give up. I've learned that you cant rush through art, and improvement so take your time, and be proud of every brush stroke, pencil line, streak of color you make because it is amazing. Dont let the accidents, the Mark's you dont mean to make in your art, a mistake. Make it an inspiration to do more. I believe in all of you because you can all do this and you are going to reach your goals. if I can do it, then you can do it too.
-Ren ❤
liking the intensity of these pieces
God those figure drawings are SO good I would totally buy them!!
ur so pretty and ur art is breath taking uwu
YOU ARE SO GOOD! I never realized how bad my drawings were until now😂😭
Confidence in your work will make it shine even more than it already does! Good luck with everything. These are great!

THANKS MAN
Really like the china town piece!

With these videos I usually find myself lowkey expecting more but your portfolio is so impressive! Great job
I would love to go to RISD but I honestly doubt I could afford it. You’re really talented! I’m going to community college now, taking as many art classes as I can. Im determined to continue improving my art skills. Cool art! Hope schools going well 😁
this video embodies the phrase "you are your harshest critic" cause these are amazinggg
omg you are who i aspire to be pretty talented hardworking smart youve got it all i stg i feel so insecure looking at you but at the same time i feel so inspired :') im overall a pessimistic person so for you to make me so motivated is like wow this is *unreal*
thank you!
Okay but how are you not famous, your art work is unbelievable, true talent
Love your art! Greatest Pictures I ever seen of a youtuber

DUDE YOUR FRIDA KAHLO PIECE WAS IN COLLEGE BOARD AND I DID A FULL ASSIGNMENT IN MY AP CLASS WHERE WE REVIEWED AND CRITIQUED PIECES IN COLLEGE BOARD AND I LITERALLY WROTE THREE WHOLE SLIDES ABOUT HOW GENIUS I THOUGHT IT WAS
Wow I loved every single piece you showed!!! Keep up the great work it's beautiful!!
I love the animal art the most, the cat, octopus and chicken I would never know you didn't focus on them a lot in overall drawing.
Congratulations! You are incredibly talented :) I go to Brown so I've gotten to see the RISD campus and I hope you love Providence as much as I do!
Excuse me. Did I hear that correctly?
4:02 YOU TOOK 15-20 MINS TO MAKE THAT???
My god. You're amazing
as someone watching this the day my applications are due, i appreciate you mentioning how last-minute some of your pieces were lmao. definitely gives me more confidence about my own odds.
Oh my goodd the audio! Clean that ish up gurl 🤯
LMAO I KNOW ITS TRASH the ac was going while I was filming :(
Tiffany Weng the ac is not the problem sis

P.s I’m not an art student
Strawberry Fields is one of your best pieces of art. It's not over worked... Good luck to you thanks.
Omg this video was sooo helpful!!! Thank you so much & I hope you keep making videos about RISD and art in general!! :)
Awww im so glad you liked it and that it helped :)) I'll be sure to make more RISD related videos!
I feel like if I had a school that didn't focus primarily of sports, then I would've had better classes and learned a lot more by the time I graduated
I’m in love with the femmes oil painting! Love you’re art
Hey,I think I saw ur octopus piece at the scholastic awards exhibition in Savannah!
