Top portfolio tips for applying to Kingston School of Art
Now if you’re applying to any of the creative courses here at KSA chances are you’ve been asked or you are aware that you’ll have to submit a portfolio. This may be scary to you but it doesn’t have to be! Below I’ve listed a couple of tips to soothe any potential anxieties.
Be experimental!
The creative courses here at KSA want to nurture your growth as a creative and one way to get there is experimentation. Proving in your portfolio that you’re already confident in experimenting is a great way to show that you’re willing to push yourself throughout your course! Whether it’s experimentation through style or material, showing off the versatility of your work is not only impressive but a great way to stand out and put yourself forward as a great candidate!
Be confident!
Whether it’s art, graphic design or fashion, your creations are probably super personal to you! Putting forward a portfolio that’s going to be judged can be super daunting but there’s a couple of things to remember. When reviewing your portfolio you’re art isn’t being judged on the quality but whether or not your work is compatible with the course and teaching offered by the uni and if your portfolio doesn’t get you a spot that definitely doesn’t define it’s worth! Being confident in the work you put forward and remaining confident despite the result is so important in the long run!
Ask for help!
Whether you’re coming straight from A-levels or you’ve chosen to do a foundation, one of my biggest pieces of advice would be to get a second opinion! Whether it’s a teacher, technician or even a friend in the same position, getting some advice never hurts. Sometimes reading portfolio requirements can be overwhelming, and important details can get lost if you’re stressed. So asking someone to look over the requirements and your portfolio can mean you’re putting your best foot forward!
