God, no wunder, she didnt get in....thats the kinda thing i out out for the trash

[francesca]

she's talented!

[Rhonna]

I don't about art school, costume design might be a better outlet for your talents. Imagine working on the costumes for LOTR? Interior design perhaps?

[egyptchik]

Unlike the cat lady, or the man who exposed his ball(s),it's really not that bad Amanda.I encourage you.

[Olga (Janna, Yanna, Crazy Cat Girl)]

Ok, ummm. no offense, but, I was drawin this kind of stuff in like, second grade...
*prepares for people to start brutally attacking me*

YOU'VE BEEN HECKLED AMANDA

[Charlemange]

It's not that bad. I agree with the poster who suggested costume design.

[Melanie]

The only thing about submitting a portfolio to an Art school is you must show your talent in diffrent mediums. Most schools look for about 15 diffrent peices with certaint criteria like 1 land scape, 1 self portrate, 1 oil, 1 charchol. If you are tring to get into fashion school you still need to send in a portfolio showing the range of your skills. I don't know if amanda will ever see this but try revamping your portfolio and reappliying to the art school. There are also a number of state schools with good art programs... you can acctually get you BFA at Hawaii.

[Never Gonna Happen]

I went to RISD- after seeing those pics- i now know why she didn't get in-
only average talent- images show no originality...All your dreams are dead!

[Lizzie]

Melanie is right, though you could submit these type of drawings to certain schools that accept fashion portfolios such as F.I.T in NYC which is a really great school. But most schools are going to want an art portfolio. Hopefully you'll see this Amanda but im a student at parsons in NYC so if you have any questions about preparing a portfolio, etc don't hesitate to email me.

[Kathleen]

Amanda, you need to be in "fashion design"! Sign up for PROJECT RUNWAY, ASAP :)

[julie]

don't sweat it. everyone only goes to art school for two years before dropping out and going to a real school anyway. *knows from experience*

[Dylan]

Totally costume design.

Plus, foxy foxy FOXY!

I mean, DAMN.

[U couldn't Hang]

"don't sweat it. everyone only goes to art school for two years before dropping out and going to a real school anyway. *knows from experience*"
Only losers, only losers with no talent!

[Coleslayer]

wow, please tell me those are just rough sketches for the real art. I'm sorry, but I can see why they rejected her.
YOU DON"T PUT DOODLES IN YOUR PORTFOLIO THAT COULD GET YOU INTO COLLEGE OR A JOB!

[crow]

They look like fashion design sketches, not "art".

[Lunerrrrs]

Yep, you could get into fashion design. Or get a better handling on human anatomy. Also try drawing some landscapes or rooms to show you know about perspective. When drawing a character you'd want to show a full rotation, and in a more dynamic pose, of it and add some more depth to the clothes on them.

Also to egyptchik, I HIGHLY doubt you were drawing clothes in that kind of detail in the 2nd grade. pffttt hater.

[ed]

did you draw that using your butt?

[Will From Manitoba]

Ok as one of Chris's three straight male fans I may not know about about fashion but those costumes look pretty good. If the art school look at these as drawings and not as designs then I can see why you did not get in(it's way better then I can do though) but eff art school, find a local seamstress/tailor and learn from them (if clothing is what you want to do).
