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.
