CAPP – College Art Portfolio Prep

CAPP is the abbreviation for College Art Portfolio Prep.

Are you considering applying for art school or another competitive art program in higher education?  Do you need and want help preparing an art portfolio, writing your artist statement or essays, and figuring out which art school or program might be a fantastic fit for you?  Don’t know where to start the process or maybe you are stuck and aren’t sure what steps to take next?  Then CAPP might be for you.  CAPP is a series of meet ups and portfolio preparation workshops that are one on one or in small groups that meet with the instructor.  Christina can help guide Juniors, Seniors and non-traditional aged future art school students through the process of identifying great art programs, preparing portfolio work, applying to art programs, and securing merit scholarships.  CAPP is a mixed task course dependent on the need of the student.  We meet at times set up with the instructor and that works mutually for everyone.  The cost is $40 a session (1-2 hours) and meet ups are at the Holter Museum of Art.
