Artful Edge Academy is a specialized portfolio development program led by professional artist and Pratt Institute of Art and Design Professor, Michelle Hinebrook. With a focus on guiding middle school students through the high school admissions process, and high school students through the college application process.
Artful Edge Academy provides personalized guidance, professional art instruction, and comprehensive application support to help students showcase their creativity and drive for success.
What does a visual arts high school application entail?
A successful HS application comprises 8-10 original artworks accompanied by a scripted video artist statement. This statement discusses the imagery, creative process, inspiration, influences, techniques, material use, and formal choices behind the artworks. Specialized high school programs in NYC demand a cohesive body of work showcasing original creative thinking, technical proficiency, and individual expression. Alongside the artworks, a well-crafted scripted video artist statement is essential, elucidating the artist's process, influences, and formal decisions.
