MENTORING

Portfolio Development & Art College Preparation

Individual mentoring for mature and committed art students developing their work, strengthening a portfolio or preparing for art college and further study. The focus is on developing individual ideas, visual language and direction.

​

Developing the work

Sessions explore existing work to identify what is distinctive, what could be developed further and how individual pieces might form a coherent body of work.

​

Portfolio development

Guidance on selecting and editing work, developing a cohesive portfolio, identifying gaps and presenting the work effectively.

​

​Art college progression

Support with applications, portfolio reviews and interviews, including how to discuss the work with clarity and confidence.

​

An individual approach

No prescribed style. The emphasis is on questions, constructive criticism and developing the possibilities within each student's own work.

The aim is to develop work with greater clarity, purpose and individuality.

Sessions & Fees

Individual mentoring is available in 60- and 90-minute sessions, with packages for portfolio development and art college preparation.

Please get in touch to discuss your work, aims and the most suitable approach.
