🎓 Preparing Teen Artists for College: Portfolio Development at RSA

At the Raminfard School of Arts (RSA), we understand that building a standout art portfolio can be the key to unlocking opportunities at top colleges and art schools. That’s why we’ve created a dedicated portfolio development program designed specifically for teens who are ready to take their artistic journey to the next level.

🎨 Why a Strong Portfolio Matters

For aspiring art majors, a well-crafted portfolio is more than just a collection of artworks—it’s a visual narrative of growth, creativity, and technical skill. College admissions teams look for originality, a range of techniques, and a deep understanding of composition, concept, and craftsmanship.

✏️ What We Offer at RSA

• Customized One-on-One Coaching: Personalized instruction to identify strengths, improve weaknesses, and build a strategic roadmap.

• Professional Presentation: We guide students through photographing, editing, and formatting artwork for submission.

🏫 Ideal for Students Applying to:
