❤️❤️❤️ excited for more Andrew raftery videos!
I found the advice and recommendations from Professor Andrew Raftery very helpful. I really like how he discusses the importance of having the patience and dedication to take something on and explore it in depth. I can see why he is a good teacher and advisor. Thank you for this interview.
You're very welcome, he is absolutely the best! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
I have the most random question. When dealing with the portfolio, if there is not a time frame listed, what would you suggest would be the oldest work listed? I am asking as life took me on an adventure and my most recent work hasn't been photographed. So 2015 was the last in my up to date portfolio. I am actively working towards a newer portfolio, but this knowledge would be helpful If I think some of my undergrad work was/is worthy of including. Thank you! Very informative videos.
Helpful information, thank you!
Oh this is information I desperately need as I look more into the MFA program. Thanks 🙏
You're so welcome! We hope it all works out :D - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Amazing video! Wish it was longer!!🥰😩

I have one question so I'm sending portfolio to
art university and they just asked for the pictures nothing else so i just send them Pictures of work without including the concept ?
Or I can write concept and details beside the picture And the next question is can i send pictures from different angle as I'm sculpture student I do 3d work?
Most of the time schools will require an artist statement or a small description of the piece, so I would make sure to double check for those! Feel free to check out this page for tips on how to write an artist statement: artprof.org/art-school/bfa-programs-art-school/how-to-write-an-artist-statement/ - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Hi! What if I don’t have a bachelor degree in visual arts, but still want to apply MFA painting. There is no one who could give me a recommendation from the sphere.
You would probably need to take some time becoming part of some sort of art community, maybe through a local or online crit group, volunteering for your local arts organization, or taking a continuing ed class. Every program is different with how strict they are about the recommenders being from art academia. I think there is a fair amount of wiggle room on that point. -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
In my experience having graduated an Ivy League MFA program, I recall a number of fellow students who came from other fields (such as religion!) directly into yhe graduate program. Personally I found that quite strange, because how could someone aspire to attain a Masters degree when they have little or no work and background in the field? In my view, the art department appeared to simply be ensuring that they had no vacancies. I have no idea how these students convinced the school that they were reasonable candidates for an MFA.
