If you are a high school junior or senior, you should now be preparing for entry into a secondary educational program. If your plans are to attend an art school such as is available at Keystone College, then you will need to be developing a portfolio as one of the requirements for admission.

• Your portfolio should include 12 to 15 works of art in a variety of media.
• One of your works must be a self-portrait.
• Work with your high school art teacher to develop this portfolio for you will need his/her recommendation letter as another requirement for acceptance.

We at Keystone provide a very strong foundation program. We offer many studio concentration options, and we make sure you are taught and learn in the liberal arts tradition which means you are required to explore other areas of study such as science, math, English and language, history, anthropology, political science, computer technology, business, pschology, and more.

I wish you good fortune in your efforts to obtain a placement at a technical school, a two-or four-year college or university like Keystone College, or simply for some employment you might want or need after you graduate from high school.
