——————————————-
Judging solely off his GPA and his SAT scores, Brian seems to be just another average Asian boy. It wasn’t until he was in middle school that he realized he had a liking for art. When Brian became a freshman, he took Drafting instead of Art I, due to the difficulty in being selected for the latter. However, when he became a junior, he was able to convince the art teacher to let him skip into Art 3.
At first, Brian had no idea how to even start an art portfolio. Even without a private art teacher, he was utilized all the resources available to him at his high school and produced an incredibly creative portfolio. The end result? Brian was accepted by every school he applied to.
Brian attended a very competitive high school. In the midst of peers who had strong academic accolades, how did his parents help him express his talents?
Even if you’re not appling to an art school, an art portfolio can bolster your college application and help you stand out. Don’t have years of art experience? That’s ok! You can still make an art portfolio even for those top colleges and make your application shine.

从GPA和SAT上看,Brian在他的高中是个极为普通的亚裔学生。从他憨厚的表情,他也是一位极为平常的学生。他上初中的Art课时,才意识到自己喜欢艺术。9年级的选课,因为知道很难选到最热门的Art I,他学的是drafting。到11年级,他竟然可以说服老师让他直接上Art 3的课。

他从11年级开始准备他的Art portforlio时,还没什么主意。在完全没有私人绘画老师private art teacher的情况下,他仅仅受教于自己高中的艺术老师,完成了有创意的作品集,以至于得到了所有他所申请的艺术院校的录取。

身在一个竞争性很强的高中,面临学业的,同伴的等各种压力,他的父母又是怎么一路配合,支持,鼓励他走向成功之路的呢?

他是一个非常谦虚低调的学生。我们非常高兴能邀请到Brian来分享他的高中生活经验,以及他如何成功准备艺术作品集。
