  • ~ Me reflecting on my high school portfolio ~ RISD students don’t go into their majors until after freshman year, but I knew from the start I wanted to study industrial design. So, my portfolio had a design undertone; everyone’s will be different!
    You can tell I’m nervous soz I’ve never talked in front of a camera nor have I made a video before ʕ·ᴥ· ʔ

    i feel like our art education in high school mainly evolved around drawing still life/cleaning products, boxes, shoes and people sitting down. The college curriculum is a mess too, I'm now in my final year and nowhere near the standard of work I see from people only just applying over in the US. Much love from Ireland & thank you for sharing.

      I was going to comment this too! I'm in transition year in Ireland and we are no where near this level at least in secondary school. Honestly I'm not even sure if there's art schools in Ireland.

    • @mopryIScool
      @mopryIScool 6 років тому +1

      Oh god yeah, the art course for leaving cert here is an absolute joke, I dropped art in favour of applied maths lol, the class was awful (screw you art history) and I knew it would never help me develop any sort of art or design skills.

    • @bluetheon
      @bluetheon 6 років тому +1

      If you guys are interested in art, I would definitely recommend you all spend a year doing a FETAC art portfolio course after you're done with the leaving cert. That's what I did and it helped me get into the art colleges in Cork and Limerick (CCAD & LCAD). And I didn't even do art for leaving cert! The course was so so so worth it, I was able to use the points I earned on the portfolio course instead of my leaving cert points, and I was shown how to create a successful portfolio using all different kinds of methods, including pottery and printmaking and sculpture. Most people who apply for art college in Ireland straight out of secondary school don't get in because nobody really helps them or shows them how to create a proper portfolio. But if you do it the way I did it's much much easier to get in because you're more prepared. And if any of you decide to apply: good luck!

    what do you mean you're not that great?? You are absolutely amazing!!! my jaw dropped at how stunning that space watercolour piece is. It's impressive how flexible and diverse you are in creating art. I so so so wish my teachers at my highschool did a better job with teaching us and preparing us for the future. I wish to take some classes before I graduate cause my school has a bad art program. Anyways I hope you have fun in school and congrats on getting in! you deserve it

  • @amgp98
    @amgp98 7 років тому +12

    You seem so nice and chill!! Do you have any recommendation for someone starting with their portfolio? I feel a bit stuck creatively speaking since what most portfolio guides say is that you should use real life reference in most of your art pieces. But I have no idea how to blend that rule with my own creativity.
    Again I loved your video and your artwork! Thank you for sharing

    • @Duckitpoint
      @Duckitpoint  7 років тому +13

      Thank you!! I definitely did not reach my creative peak in high school, and I didn't have much life experience to draw on :( I think it helps to read books and start to develop your own ideology. For my first semester at RISD, I based my final design project on the novel "Perks of Being a Wallflower" and the idea of self-actualization and feeling infinite.
      If you have no ideas at all (like I so often did in high school), grab some materials and make something! Take a bunch of drinking straws and challenge yourself to make something out of it, etc. The end result will be portfolio worthy because it is your craftsmanship and idea :) good luck!

    This was amazing! Thank you for sharing! Can I ask what pastels you use? That piece at 4:35 was my favorite, I was stunned you made such an amazing piece with just pastels! I would love to get better at the medium, do you have any tips?

    • @Duckitpoint
      @Duckitpoint  7 років тому +11

      Yesss I'm glad you're taking that initiative! I use mungyo soft pastels (set of 24, it's really high quality pastels from Korea) the pastels just glides on to the paper. One technique I love to use is to smear the pastel with soft tissues. I also layer colors a lot to create tones. I would suggest finding tutorials because watching someone do it would be the most helpful :) Have fun!

  • @yelpsie8025
    @yelpsie8025 7 років тому +2

    I have to give my college applications in two years and i know im early but.. since i was like really small its consistently been in my head that the more detailed a piece the better it is. Now im beginning to realise this isnt the case but what do you think? Do colleges look for more detailed work or how creative we can be?

    • @Duckitpoint
      @Duckitpoint  7 років тому +2

      It's never too early to create art! Same, I used to think the bigger the piece, the better it is... Now, I learned it definitely depends on your intent and concept. As long as the work is apparent that you put thought and time into it, it will be really strong.
      For college applications, I suggest including a series of conceptual artworks to show your ability to think, and then technical pieces that show your dedication/craftsmanship/etc.

    • @yelpsie8025

    • @Duckitpoint
      @Duckitpoint  7 років тому +17

      You honestly never know until you try! There is a large variety of freshman at RISD because everyone's portfolio is so different. Try experimenting with different mediums, make something abstract (technique isn't the most important, your ideas are). I remember someone who got in making a vagina sculpture with a mirror in the center for their portfolio LOL be weird :)

    • @Duckitpoint
      @Duckitpoint  7 років тому +5

      As a point of reference, my SAT score was 2100 (too lazy to take it more than once...) I think RISD values academics slightly more than other art schools. As long as your portfolio is bomb, I don't think RISD really cares too much about a bad SAT score :)

      CCA's san francisco campus sucks. they're in an area where there are homeless people around. all of their programs are in one building. the interior and exterior of the building makes me feel like i'm in an airplane building. they use wall dividers to make a classroom for the fine art and illustration program. how cheap of them. but there's another entrance that's second floor where the graphic design, industrial design, fashion design, and other programs are. their classrooms are better and they don't use wall dividers. i don't see myself spending 4 years of my life in CCA.

      I had no idea that was going on in their SF campus :( I took precollege at their Oakland campus and I thought the school was pretty nice. They have a strong industrial design program and CCA was just ranked one of the highest ROI art schools! I think it's a school to consider.

    Do you get the art back that you send? Or do you have to send different pieces to each college?

      Shelbi Craig most colleges use a website called slideroom to submit your art digitally! RISD requires you to mail in the original copy of your Risd prompt artworks. In one of the offices, You can get it back after you begin your freshman year. Not sure what happens to it if you didn't get in 😓

    So when you applied to RISD, you also put the sketches of your pieces in slide room. Right? I'm sorry if you already said it in your video i was just wondering.
