In this portfolio review you will have 15 minutes to meet one-on-one with a CCA admission counselor and talk about your work. You are welcome to bring a laptop or tablet to share your portfolio digitally or bring sketchbooks or pieces that you can carry with you easily. Your portfolio should include your best and most recent work, but it can also include works in progress, sketchbooks, and first drafts. We recommend that you collect 5–15 pieces that show the range of your work. We are interested to learn about your process, methods, and thinking. Before the event, practice explaining how you develop your ideas, articulating where you want to go with those ideas, and sharing how you arrive at a completed work.
