It's important to include one or more Still Lifes in your portfolio. You could draw your own things and use a theme- or try using unusual materials . . . . . . . . #pen #drawing #illustration #nyc #artist #stillife #map #ink #mixedmedia #instaart #art #artwork #mixedmediaart #draw #city #inkdrawing #draw #미술 #조각 #그림 #드로잉스타그램 #손그림 #일러스트레이터 #일러스트 #일어스트레이션 #자화상 #sva #parsons #pratt #fit

When you're making a still life/ interior drawing for your art portfolio, you can show your originality and your own style and interests, like this Ashcan student did here- where she's added elements that are surreal- mixing reality and fantasy - showing to the admissions counselors her great skill and great imagination . . . . . #portfolioadvice #artist #artistsofinstagram #painter #artstudio #artstudent #artwork #mixedmediaart #couple #instaartist #bed #stillife #interior #pencildrawing #pencil #fineart #artschool #surreal #artclass #love #bedroom #미술 #조각 #그림 #드로잉스타그램 #손그림 #일러스트레이터 #일러스트 #일어스트레이션 #자화상

PARSONS CHALLENGE- Part of the application requirements for Parsons is the Parsons Challenge- where you have to create a new visual work inspired by the theme within a piece submitted in your portfolio. One Ashcan student made this work for the Parsons Challenge she titled “The Room”, a sculptural installation that she lit on fire and then documented the disintegration of the burning process. She came up with the idea for this piece when she stumbled on the webpage missed connections on Craigslist, where people post confessions about strangers they’ve encountered, but “missed” their chance to create a tangible connection with. She said "It felt almost ridiculous reading through them, but at the same time I felt their genuine longing, desire to connect and vulnerability." With these themes in mind, she made a bedroom, which is a room of privacy, intimacy, and a sanctuary where you can rest and be vulnerable with yourself. She created the structure of the room and the furniture out of wire and then collaged film photographs of different levels of intimacy that she took, to construct the surface of the room. She used printed film photographs to demonstrate the idea of a “one-time moment” captured by the camera, which relates back to the fleeting connections that two people share. The burning process melted away the intimate memories and also her work. As the photo paper dwindled, the bare wire structure of the room emerged as the remains of the photographs clung to one another. The process of the building up of “The Room” and its subsequent slow deconstruction, shares the feeling of being torn from a connection, and the fantasy building up and tearing down of intimacy one could have shared with the stranger. . . . . #nyc #artschool #artist #model #blackandwhitephoto #artstagram #film #photographs #abstractart #sculpture #artwork #fineart #art #contemporaryart #artist #paint #artistsofinstagram #drawing #galleryexhibition #sva #shapes #bedroom #missedconnection #parsons #portfolioadvice #artportfolio #parsons #thenewschool #parsonschallenge #design
