An art portfolio is a collection of your best works which may contain sample paintings, 3D sculptures, printmaking, graphic design, textiles or other visual art forms. Curate your best artwork and showcase your ideas, artistic skills, creativity, and experiences all at once.
What is an Art Portfolio?
Why is Porfolio important
A strong art portfolio will demonstrate your level of creativity and technical skill. Your portfolio will help the program department you are applying to understand your artistic potential. At NPC, we will help you hone your creative and technical skills so that you are able to prepare the best possible portfolio.

How we prepare you
There is a large difference between a post-secondary course and a high school course. At NPC, we will help you prepare for your ideal post-secondary art and design program and we also help you acclimate to the intense pace of university. NPC’s program will provide you with a dynamic artistic atmosphere and environment. You will have the opportunity to work independently, in peer groups, and leverage the knowledge and expertise of our instructors who are practicing industry professionals.
