What is Portfolio Consulting
Portfolio consulting is a great way to help your child’s art portfolio application stand out and get them accepted into an art program of their choice for university or college. Portfolio consulting can be very useful and helpful to students to ensure they are creating a strong art portfolio application, staying focused, and meeting deadlines. There are lots of benefits to doing art portfolio consulting- let me explain, below!
What is Portfolio Consulting?
Art portfolio consulting is done online over Zoom or Google Meet and we meet one on one to discuss your child’s art portfolio application and what schools and programs they wish to apply to.
I have been helping teens prepare their art portfolio applications since 2020. I am a certified high school art teacher. I have experience working with students with Autism, ADHD and other learning disabilities. I have helped countless teens get accepted into their dream art program.
In art portfolio consulting here are some topics I can help with:
Planning the portfolio
What art pieces to include and in what order
How to title artwork
How to write descriptions or essay writing
How to take photos of art and edit them
Help with planning your child’s schedule so they can balance -schoolwork, a part time job, a social life and making their art portfolio plus any other commitments they might have.

What are the Benefits of Portfolio Consulting?
Getting Into a Competitive Art Program
Competitive art programs tend to only accept 20% or less of the total applicants.
If your child wants to go to a competitive or popular art school portfolio consulting will help them get in by giving them an edge and ensuring their art portfolio application stands out and wows the panel!
You can see a list of popular art schools in Canada and the U.S. here.
Homeschooled Art Students
If your child is homeschooled or has been homeschooled they might not have the formal education of a visual arts curriculum and perhaps they don’t understand key visual arts terminology of what the review panel at a college or university are looking for.
Homeschooled students might not have a lot of artwork ready to be submitted for their art portfolio and might need more pieces created. I can help with this and help your child fix any existing pieces of art they have made in the past so they are ready to submit their art portfolio.
Teens That Don’t Have A lot of Artwork or Need Help Staying Organized and Accountable
I can help your teen come up with a plan and schedule to figure out how many pieces of art they need to make and give them the deadlines and accountability for them to follow through and stay organized completing this massive undertaking. Some schools are looking for upwards of 20 pieces of art in an art portfolio application.
I also have lots of ideas to share so your child can create phenomenal pieces in less time.
Who Should Do Portfolio Consulting?
Grade 11 or Grade 12 teens who want to pursue an art career or arts-related career. To learn more about arts-related careers -click here.
Some arts related careers like architecture require an art portfolio depending on the school.
Do some research ahead of time to determine where your child wants to go to art school and for what art program.
You can look under the admissions section of the school or contact someone from the school’s admissions office to ask if your child needs to submit an art portfolio application.
