Guiding students to create powerful portfolios
What is Triangle Studio?
Triangle Studio was established to assist high school students in creating powerful and original artwork for art school and university submissions. Students can benefit from a portfolio coach who has a clear understanding of what art schools are seeking: individuals whose work is unique, illustrates their personal narrative, and showcases exciting and distinctive artwork.
Tailored to Every Student
Through a process customized to each emerging artist, we guide them to develop submission materials that look different and unique. Studio time is dedicated to immersing students in exploring techniques and developing more complex works of art. We will utilize mediums that resonate best with their goals, including drawing with charcoal, painting in watercolor and gouache, collage, fiber works, sculpture and more.
Proven Outcomes
Students at Triangle Studio produce portfolios that fully represent their unique perspectives, rather than cookie-cutter pieces that resemble others’. Past students have been accepted and have won scholarships to some of the nation’s top art schools, including RISD, Parsons, Pratt, SCAD, CalArts, University of Texas, School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Otis.About Elizabeth
