Art & Design Portfolio Preparation
Courses At Atölye20;
Our goal in study abroad portfolio preparation courses is to enable students to convey their vision accurately and prepare the desired project without being hindered by material constraints. We create a personalized training program for students participating in the program, taking into account their goals and the requirements of the university they will apply to. For example, for a student interested in the fashion design department, we start with basic topics such as fundamental drawing, perspective, and color, and then proceed with fashion technical drawing. For those interested in graphic design, we start with basic topics and progress with digital-focused drawing. In the project stage, we help the student bring the imagined and designed project to life with the necessary materials. In the project stage, our difference lies in being able to create models with the help of expert instructors in areas such as clay, printmaking, metal, and concrete. We also have various opportunities for students, from Adobe programs to creating videos and visuals in a computer environment.
After preparing the project, we support our students in digital areas such as preparing a project in digital media and creating a presentation file.
Who Is Portfolio Preparation For?
It is aimed at students desiring to study undergraduate and master’s degrees in departments such as fine arts, sculpture, graphic design, textile and fashion design, interior architecture, architecture, and industrial product design abroad. In addition, studies are also carried out for departments in Turkey that require a portfolio. Portfolio preparation courses can be attended from the 1st year of high school for undergraduate studies and by university students for master’s and postgraduate studies.
What Should Be Considered in Portfolio Preparation?
The project chosen by the student should align with the school and department they are applying to. For instance, if a student is applying to the industrial design department, bringing their own designed technical drawings to life enhances the chance of gaining admission with a scholarship. Similarly, for interior design, besides space drawings, creating models increases the likelihood of both acceptance and scholarship grants.
How Is the Portfolio Prepared?
The project chosen by the student should be compatible with the school and department he/she will apply to. For example, if a student is going to apply to the industrial design department, designing his/her own technical drawings with the technical drawings he/she designed increases the chance of being accepted to the school with a scholarship, Or if it is an interior architecture department, making space drawings in addition to spatial drawings increases the chance of getting a scholarship as well as getting accepted to the school.
What Is the Difference of Atölye20 Portfolio Preparation Course?
The Sculpture, Iron, Wood and Concrete, and Printmaking workshops within the Atölye20 Cultural Arts community also provide support for students preparing portfolios during the project creation stage. Creating a professional model with various materials allows the student to reflect on their project as envisioned and increases the chance of gaining admission with a scholarship to the desired department.
