Portfolio Redefined

Join Parsons and MAD for Portfolio Development Day on October 1, 2011, a workshop devoted to building a competitive portfolio for college submission. The day includes hands-on "how-to sessions" on documenting work and writing to support your portfolio submissions, as well as roundtable discussions with working artists, designers, and other art professionals. Artists and curators will share projects and give direct feedback to students on their portfolios. 

Don't have a portfolio yet? That's okay! Bring a sketchbook, interesting images, or up to three completed works or works in progress. In a workshop that explores building a portfolio, students are introduced to the Parson's Challenge and will have an opportunity to conceptualize and develop an idea, and then discuss ways to turn it into a body of work.
