Art Portfolio for Diploma level and above requires specific contents that are unique to that specialisation and major. A portfolio made for Interior Design will definitely be different from one made for Animation! The preparation process is not as simple as just putting together doodles and drawings that you have collected over the years. Each schools have their own criteria and and requirements.
Each student have their forte and interests, Visual Arts Centre is prepared to help each student prepare a portfolio that is tailored for each of the major and courses they are aiming for. For this, a general foundation in various art mediums are required, it helps to build up foundational techniques and knowledge such as composition, tonal values, colour theory, and more.
We broke down 3 key criteria we have collated from some of the top local and global art schools:
We’ve broken the painstaking journey of building a portfolio into two different parts:
Part 1: Foundational Art Techniques and Training
Part 2: Development of Artworks

Upon building a strong foundation, we will be moving on to the creating of your actual portfolio works. A general rule for portfolio preparation is that you should have both monochromatic and coloured works that showcases the skills and knowledge within the field you are interested in. We will work with various mediums such as Drawing and Sketching, Acrylic Painting and Watercolour Painting to achieve this. For those who are aiming for courses and majors like Fine Arts, Animation or Game Art, you would need to have anatomical studies and drawings in your portfolio as well! Visual Arts Centre offers life drawing classes suitable for that learning, with a class of either nude life or portrait every week (we’ve got you covered!)
You would need to work on your portfolio both in the studio and at home! Application for art schools and courses are very competitive, and to maximise your success rate, it required hard work!
Each student would be given a folder with guides, reference materials, feedback and rubrics made in reference from the criteria of the top schools as well as our our instructor’s professional feedback. On top of that we would conduct an assessment after each learning stage. This folder will be a good addition to the preparation to allow our student to track their progress and know where they are at during the preparation process.

In the Batik Introduction Handkerchief Painting workshop, participants will learn the traditional art of batik, a wax-resist dyeing technique originating from Indonesia. The workshop begins with a brief history and overview of batik, highlighting its cultural significance and various techniques. Participants will then observe a demonstration of applying wax with tjanting tools and dyeing the fabric. Following the demonstration, each participant will design and create their own batik handkerchief, applying wax to create patterns and then dyeing their fabric. The workshop concludes with a group discussion, allowing participants to share their creations and reflect on their learning experience.
