Sixth Form Art Award at Sherborne School.

How art scholarships usually work

Schools usually ask for a portfolio, then often set a timed practical task and talk to your child about their work.

• Ask how many pieces to bring and whether they can be photographed or must be originals.
• Show a range of media, including sketchbooks that show how ideas developed.
• Make sure your child can talk about why they made each piece.
