  • Answer:

    It depends on what major you're interested in. Illustration? Fine Art? Something in design? Most art schools want to see a portfolio that is focused on the major the person is applying for. I would discuss it with one of your art teachers. They can give you a surprising amount of info, and help you focus your portfolio. They might be even willing to look over the art you have and tell you what are your strongest pieces. =)

OK, you are the victim of safe teaching that has allowed you to see copying as art. It isn't. They will want to see original work drawn from life. You have to show your own work, not a pastiche of someone else's. Original works - self portraits, still life, etc are excellent. But you have to have a reason for everything in your portfolio. How can you explain your work? What are you trying to express - technique or personal taste? What is your philosophy? Where do you want to go with your work? If you don't have answers to questions like these then they will see straight through you. You need skills and substance. Good Luck.
