For number 22, it wanted me to look up what schools requires for their art portfolio. I looked up University of North Carolina School of the Arts and School of the Art Institute of Chicago for their art portfolios requirements.


What University of North Carolina School of the Arts requires for art portfolios:

Number 23 wanted me to look at art schools and art programs at colleges and universities. I choose two universities to compare with each other.

University of North Carolina School of the Arts
website: http://www.uncsa.edu/

Advantages: Located near by, and has 7 courses in art. 

Disadvantages: Looks like it's only campus, no online, and is a little expensive.


Full Sail University
website: https://learn.fullsail.edu/#home

Advantages: Online and campus, and has 4 courses in art.

Disadvantages: Located in Florida and no prices listed on website.
