✨accepted art school portfolio ✨ risd + saic

[@denisehiltebrand7362]

Your piece with the boy laying in the forest got me really emotional.

[@kennethjunio9785]

Your portfolio is an experience. It feels like I didn't just watch, but I also go through someone's story. The last piece made the most huge impact, in my opinion. Your works are pretty conceptual and allegorical---totally different from most of the portfolio videos I've seen. You inspired me even more. You're awesome.

[@angelakate9063]

This actually made me want to do pieces that really reflect my feelings and emotions. And i kinda dont like it when artist say that, it's "cheesy". Because i know, you like it, YOU PUT YOUR HEART AND TIME INTO it. And its just sad that we have to says such things towards the things that we love just for the people. I don't know, my chain of thoughts dissappear 😅. But, i know you enjoy the theme and its okay if we put our personal emotions in an artwork. I love it. 💖

[@nikkizub7207]

Your work is all astounding. The stories behind each are so well thought. I’m not even an American student but I just love watching these videos. This was one of the best I’ve seen. Congratulations ❤️

[@plumpkane3089]

STOP your portfolio really inspired me and just looks so beautiful and emotional 😭 I can tell I really need to improve but in a good way. This moved me too much lmaoo

[@tuesdayjanae3676]

You are beyond naturally talented, I’m working on my art portfolio too !

[@miqiiu268]

aw thank you good luck with yours!!

[@theperson5205]

there’s just something different that sets your portfolio apart from others. like others feel technically skilled, of course, but flat in a way and yours is technically skilled AND has a lot of life. not to talk bad about others, because you have to really put in the work to get into RISD in the first place. But you’re going places!

[@mal992]

hi! i want to apply to an art school too and I'm watching so many videos like this to prepare myself. it really sucks when all the good art schools are out of Canada for an art kid like me too ;-; risd should seriously consider international scholarships

[@miqiiu268]

riiight it do b like that ;(( there are a few schools that give merit scholarships for internationals (like saic) but yeah,, good luck with your applications !!

[@alexgraffart3046]

m a L hey dude ! I’m living in Canada too, it kinda sucks how the states have more art schools but there are still a fair amount in bigger cities like Vancouver and Toronto !

[@mal992]

alexgraff_art yeah!! there’s ocad in toronto but i don’t know much about. vancouver since i don’t live there. (i’d LOVE to it’s such a beautiful place, best vibes)

[@bug3292]

There’s a really good school in Canada named VanArts, I went to their seminar and they are considered one of the best art schools in the world

[@mal992]

@@bug3292 oh? thank you, ill check them out! :)

[@shanthesmol5052]

omg congrats in getting in (I'm so sorry that this is 3 years late and we're graduating next year) but omg so exciting that you got in!!!

[@gyro468]

The music matched so well with the video! It enhanced the “emotionalness” of all your pieces!

[@katiedraws1493]

the how to turn back the clock one, made me very emotional. I recently lost my favorite chicken because my neighbor accidentally let their dog out... I've been wanting to turn back time, and i keep reliving seeing my chickens life be shaken out of itself.

[@ez3902]

Looks like you've got yourself a new art form, experimenting with your art stories through youtube commentary. Godspeed in your newfound hobby.

[@junyilin6766]

your painting skill is really good >0

[@miqiiu268]

aw thank you! good luck with your portfolio!!

[@junyilin6766]

@@miqiiu268 thanks! I was wondering what paper you use for your watercolor pieces? I was wondering if Bristol paper work.

[@miqiiu268]

@@junyilin6766 I use decently thick watercolour paper for my watercolour pieces. I did a little research and it seems to me that bristol paper doesn't have the same level of water absorption that could mess with the watercolours, but I've never used it before so I won't be able to say much more than that sorry :')) i suggest you do a little more research! there's a lot of info online available :))

[@mariaaaa1128]

I love the theme of Going back to the past or time in general and the way you portray it differently each time.

[@rainydae3115]

your pieces so astonishing!! wowowow

[@katemao3357]

ugh your art is so beautiful and i love the way you use color

[@heavencedillo9235]

YOOOOO first of all I love how you did the little doodles for your video as well as made each description short and sweet. Also loved the pieces themselves! When I saw that SAT score though I was like HUHHHHHHHH

[@miqiiu268]

aw thank youuu sldkfjdk

[@namelastname5346]

this is frankly the best portfolio video i've seen on youtube, changed my perspective on how to approach my portfolio. thank you

[@emilywood6819]

The blue clock cut-out in your ‘wheres the undo button’ piece is found in Glasgow, Scotland, where I go to Art school! I thought I recognised it

[@miqiiu268]

oh hey, cool ! I don't even remember which magazine I cut it out from anymore haha but it's very pretty :)

[@natashaponda4902]

I’ve seen other portfolio videos and you have the most authentic reasoning and analysis of your own work! Other people were just talking up their pieces and less authentic and you could tell. Well done!

[@Cazoolo]

I really want to get to RISD when I’m older, and this is so helpful as a reference for my future portfolio!

[@theperson5205]

i want to get into risd when im order too, but student debt is nottt something I want to play with and their tuition is so expensive :”( sad

[@daniik7102]

my fav person and my fav type of vibes this video has blessed me

[@miqiiu268]

ur a blessing alskdjflkdjs

[@freemonlie]

I think it’s amazing!!! Your works are so strong and deep emotional, thank you for video❣️

[@emibudd2228]

absolutely love your art! i've just recently gotten into art a year ago and i only got two years until college applications but i'm giving my all so i can improve as much as possible and make it in, thanks for inspiring me so much!!

[@madisoncollins13]

When u talked about being accepted to both schools my brain imagined: *a movie plot of somone doing that and a friend of theirs uses your identity to attend the school you didn’t choose cuz their grades wouldn’t have gotten them in and they didn’t care that your name would be on the diploma cuz they wanted to go for the art learning experiences and social scene of making new artsy friends more than a piece of paper. And the while movie would be based on making sure neither of the schools got notified that you were technically enrolled in the other at the same time.* Edit: that would be very illegal irl tho

[@alemaci]

4 years later and ur graduating this year lol, ur one of the ppl encouraging me to apple in the fall! Thanks!

[@miqiiu268]

woah, thats so crazy to think about. good luck with your applications!!

[@snubnosedmonke]

9:56 the most depressing ones have such deep meaning and are good food for thought, nice explanation of this piece !

[@sireenabidi4028]

wow love your portfolio super impressive and creative i specially like how you use your narrative skills to translate your philosophy and perspective

[@daniik7102]

THIS IS SO HQ I'M D E D

[@farahzahmed]

These pieces really resonated with me, and it was amazing to see a lot of my own anxieties about time/meaning reflected in them. Loved it

[@scribblebird4096]

Hi I love how you explain your pieces and meanings and I was just wondering if you could show or explain your sustained investigation? I would be so interested to see how you approached it!!

[@medha4551]

Girl you made my cry it's soooo good

[@ambedo_llamb]

all of your drawings are incredible and also have such deep messages to them as well! >< I'll be a junior next year and I'm really inspired to start pursuing my own portfolio ideas after the portfolio school I went to last year only made me do technical pieces -- do you have any advice to what I should look for in a new portfolio teacher or class? (should they be helping me with whatever idea or piece I have in mind, or are they supposed to offer advice of what to draw and I follow it strictly? Sorry this is such a weird question, I just don't know what these places are supposed to offer and I know you only mentioned teachers and such briefly in the video! It's just that I wanted to start focusing on my own ideas and creative pieces 😅) but thank you for the video, it's my favorite portfolio vid so far :D

[@miqiiu268]

thank you so much!! honestly, i wasn't sure if the way my teacher taught was very common, which is why I didn't mention it much since it might not be too applicable to people. But basically my teacher would help me with developing ideas and making sure they were communicated effectively in the piece, and also pushed my technical abilities as well. I think ultimately just try to find a teacher that is familiar with what universities want to see in a portfolio and know how to guide you to achieve that, if that makes sense? Good luck with your application!!!

[@ksong895]

your portfolio is amazing and you're super adorable

[@ahhhhh5789]

I'm really inspired by all of your art pieces! Honestly, I'm kind of anxious about applying to an art school and seeing all of these amazing artists show their art portfolios (like yours) makes me want to expand! Did you take any art classes during highschool or outside courses? I'm in my junior year and I haven't taken art classes in or out of highschool which is a part of the reason why I'm anxious about it all. Overall, thank you so much for showing us your artwork!

did you get in?

[@uncleiroh3701]

Do you think art schools care more about GPA, SAT/ACT scores, or a student's portfolio? Thanks, I enjoyed this video :)

[@miqiiu268]

art schools def care more about portfolio than any grades. risd's a bit more selective but even then they don't look for like a crazy good gpa or anything, so i wouldn't worry too much about those kinds of stats uvub

[@epithetduck7004]

I love your art! XD

[@zahraaayman4643]

hi! i was wondering whether every piece made has to have some kind of meaning/story behind it? i wanted to create these graphic design movie posters cuz i thought that would be a cool idea but also to demonstrate my knowledge in adobe illustrator/photoshop and that i can redesign things, but now im not so sure.

[@lion_san6493]

Can you make a video of how you oil paint because your painting is crazy

[@jewelcao9588]

i'm sorry if this sounds creepy but,,, is that richmond? the scene at 7:54 looks awfully familiar... then again, it's not a particularly distinctive landscape, so i could be wrong

[@mystiquenoodleedits3485]

Can somebody help me. I'm currently preparing for 11nth grade and I will pursue arts. I wanted to become an illustrator someday and assembling a portfolio is taking to much of my time🥲 I wanted to ask a few things I hope u answer it cuz I'm desperate 1. Does assembling a portfolio requires in making art YOU'RE GOOD AT?or it needs to have a variety of arts(painting, sketching etc.) No matter what you're mastering in. 2. If it needs to be a full colored one 3. How many examples should you put in your portfolio?

[@stellarthings.7]

It depends, you First have to apply to an artschool that suits you and that is available in your country. If you'll be able to pay for the school years there so you also have to look financially.Then you'll see what is required for your portfolio, if it needs to be sent digital or personally. I recommend putting your best artworks and also a variety of different mediums (sculpture, drawings...) bug don't overdo it...

[@yuchengche1373]

I APPLIED TO THOSE TWO TOO

[@sophial5862]

Omg I absolutely love ur work, ur portfolio is so inspiring 🥺❤️ I’m a grade 9 student and RISD is my dream school as well😆 I wonder if I can pay u to be my teacher and u can give me some advices about my portfolio🎨

[@miqiiu268]

aw its great that you already know where you want to go! i'd actually suggest starting on your portfolio in gr 10/11; gr 9 is a little bit too early, but you can focus on improving on techniques in the meantime, so if you want to find a teacher i'd suggest looking for a teacher that can help with foundational techniques ! wishing you luck

[@sophial5862]

miqiiu Thanks so much for the advice!! 🥰

[@nishii_-jk1fv]

hello! i am a freshman in graphic designing in india.. risd is my dream college.. is it possible for international students to get accepted for graduate courses and if yes what is the minimum gpa required? plss reply i really wanna know cause i really wanna work hard to get into my dream college. have a nice day

[@chaerieyo]

The drawing im actually proud of is a semi-realistic purple balloon dog that’s meaningless. 😀👍 btw is it important to date and sign your art bc i never do those stuff 🤨🤨🥲

[@xy4669]

how do you get so creative on abstract ideas? i have some decent artistic skills but i am too stiff when it comes to creativity

[@hallemae4734]

So, did you have to do pieces like you did? Or are you able to make more animation related pieces? Or is it just genuinely just what you think is good?

[@miqiiu268]

If you mean what type of pieces you should submit, I think you should just submit what you think is best representative of your own skill level and what type of art you enjoy creating! If that's animation related then yeah, go for it! They also love to see experimentation and risk taking, so don't worry too much about your work fitting a certain mold. Hope that helps! :)
