Join Parsons and MAD for a Portfolio Development day on October 13th, 2012 that is devoted to workshopping ideas and practices on building a competitive portfolio for college submission. This event is geared towards high school seniors.The day includes hands-on "how-to sessions" on documenting work and writing to support your portfolio submissions, and roundtable discussions with professional artists, designers, and other art professionals. Art professionals will share projects and give direct feedback to students. 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.
