What to Consider When Choosing a Performing & Visual Arts School by Jennifer Gross tudents who wish to study visual or performing arts face some unique challenges during their college search. The type of college, application process, and school philosophy are just a few of the important things to consider. A DIFFERENCE OF DEGREE Prospective arts majors have two degree options: the first, a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree with a major in the arts; the second, a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) for artists/performers or Bachelor of Music (BM) for musicians. The BA degree is the typical liberal arts degree, with a survey of courses in different areas and a specialty chosen in one area; students who major in English, history, and other humanities majors also earn BA degrees. The BFA or BM degree is more intensely focused in the arts. There is a world of difference between a BA in Music and a BM in Music. A BA in Music consists of a lot of courses outside of the music major and approximately 12 or so courses within it. It may not be enough for the student who wants a passionate musical experience. A BM in Music, however, is essentially a professional degree with rigorous study through coursework in music history and theory. Which degree you choose depends on your college and career goals. If you have a high degree of commitment to your art and desire an arts-focused college experience, a BFA or BM might be right for you. If you would rather study a variety of subjects along with your arts major, a BA may be the way to go. TYPES OF COLLEGES Visual and performing arts students have several types of colleges to consider. Conservatories and stand-
alone arts schools offer an immersion-type experience for students earning BM or BFA degrees. All students will be artists, and the atmosphere is often highly competitive. Some larger universities offer BFA/BM degrees as well as BA degrees in the arts. You may find somewhat selfcontained music or arts schools within the larger university. In this atmosphere, students can pursue the more specialized degree while keeping the door open to taking a few liberal arts courses (which may be unavailable at specialized music or arts schools). In addition, a university-based arts program might give you the option of pursuing a double degree, such as a BM in Music and a BA in History. THE APPLICATION PROCESS In addition to completing a typical college application, students in the visual or performing arts will need to prepare a portfolio or audition. Each school will have different requirements, listed in their collateral and on their website. Keep in mind that although a portfolio or audition is an important part of the application, arts programs do consider academic records and test scores. Most colleges balance students’ creative talent with their academic achievements. ASSESSING YOUR ABILITIES If you're interested in pursuing an arts major and career, now is the time to seek objective opinions of your abilities in the field. In addition to asking for honest advice from high school and private teachers, students can also get outside assessment from professionals at a local symphony, dance troupe, or theater company. Visual arts students can receive portfolio evaluations from college representatives at one of the many National Portfolio Days. See www.portfolioday.net/ for details.

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A PERFORMING & VISUAL ARTS SCHOOL
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
FACILITIES
All students benefit from visiting the colleges that interest them and asking questions about academics, student life, and other facets of the college experience. As an arts student, you have additional questions to consider.
In addition to checking out dorm rooms, classrooms, and athletic facilities, art students should look at a college's studio space or practice rooms, performance or exhibit venues on campus, computer resources, and any other resources specific to your field of study. And ask questions about how accessible these resources are to students: attractive studios are of no help if there aren't enough to go around.
The opportunity to perform, exhibit, and have active internships is vital to a young artist's education.
A GOOD FIT
LOCATION The location of your chosen college may be more important to you than to students with other majors. For example, arts students attending school in urban areas will have access to professional venues such as museums, galleries, theaters, and concerts. Additionally, the opportunity to perform, exhibit, and have active internships is vital to a young artist's education.
Finally, as for every student, visual and performing arts students need to find a college that fits their personality, interests, and goals. It's easy to be dazzled by the prestige of a top professional school or arts department and overlook the question of whether the program is right for you. No matter how talented the student and how wonderful the school, fit is always crucial.

*In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted a 6-year, 3-year, or 2-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards. Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may consist of a pre-professional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree that, when earned sequentially, constitute an accredited professional education. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.

ARTIST PROFILE
In Her Own Words
EMILY MCMAHON from Stony Brook, New York, 21-yearold Art Education Master’s Candidate at Boston University
Why did you decide to go to a Performing & Visual Arts School? How did you research and ultimately select the school? I had a checklist of things that I wanted to get out of my education. I first looked at schools that offered Art Education as a major. Next, I weighed the pros and cons of going to an exclusively visual arts school, but I wanted the option of taking liberal arts classes. Boston University offered me a very well-rounded education, with a strong foundation in drawing from which I could expand my technique in other disciplines. What arts major did you specifically study or are studying? I obtained a BFA in Painting with a minor in Printmaking, and am currently enrolled in the Master’s Program in Art Education. Art is different from other areas of education—you can learn and improve, but natural talent is important to succeed. I chose painting based on my skills. But I also tried glassblowing in Venice, bookmaking, photography, sculpture and ceramics, and even graphic design. Experimenting opened my eyes to new things and developed passions that I never knew I had.
" Art is different from other areas of education— you can learn and improve, but natural talent is important to succeed."
What did you have to do to apply? I had to submit a portfolio showing a breadth of artwork, including projects created for the AP Studio Art Exam, portraits, still life drawings, observational studies and sketches. I thought it was important to show process as well as product. After my portfolio was submitted, I brought other examples of my work to be reviewed by a professor. I was asked to explain my thought process, techniques, challenges, and goals established when creating my works. What advice do you offer students who want to attend a Performing & Visual Arts School? Any student considering a PVA school should think about what they want to get out of their education. I didn't want to be in the middle of nowhere; I wanted to be in a city with galleries, museums, and a strong artistic community. Next, students should see what else colleges have to offer, like liberal arts classes. Research your professors—make sure they are experienced, working artists. That way, they can give you the best insight on how to succeed. I had a wonderful set of professors; the ones who challenged me the most taught me how to be a better artist. Also, find out what the facilities are like. Good studios make all the difference in production. Finally, do what makes you happy. If you are not passionate about what you are doing, it will reflect in your work. 2012 TEENLIFE GUIDE TO PERFORMING & VISUAL ARTS COLLEGES | 11
Tips to Showcase Your Talent by Hilary Dobel pplying to a school for performing or visual arts (PVA) can be especially nerve-wracking because having someone judge your art – your talent – can be highly subjective. But you’ve already made the brave and difficult decision to pursue your artistic dream, so the best thing you can do is give yourself every possible advantage when applying to schools. The centerpiece of your application is where you showcase your talent: your portfolio or your audition. To make the best impression, read the guidelines for each school carefully. For example, some schools might prefer digital .jpeg files while others might ask for 35 mm slide transparencies. Double check, then check again!
DANCE For in-person auditions, you’ll need to provide a CD or sheet music for accompaniment to your solo dance. Make sure to bring the CD in a labeled jewel case so it doesn’t get lost or scratched! If you’re submitting an audition DVD, many schools want shots of you from the side (especially for barre exercises) as well as from the front. Depending on how different the requirements of each school are, you might find it easier to film a series of short sections separately, then edit them together to tailor your audition video to each school. Many schools also ask that you wear a particular dance outfit, so make sure you’re dressed for success. THEATER AND VOICE
Here are some of TeenLife’s tips for young artists as you’re preparing to take the next step in your creative career: VISUAL ARTS AND GRAPHIC DESIGN
Your appearance here is important. Choose clothing that’s flattering and neat, and keep any makeup simple. Headshots and a resume are universally required, so have a small stockpile printed–and you don’t have to spend a ton of money
If you’re photographing your work, check out Bowdoin’s online guide to using natural and artificial light (http://www.bowdoin.edu/visual-arts/portfolio/ photographing-art.shtml). For digital files, 72 dpi and a max height of 1000 pixels are standard specifications, but make sure that’s what your schools want, too. You can submit your files by mail on a USB flash drive or CD, but some schools also let you post them to online services like highschoolportfolios.com, deviantart.com, or carbonmade.com. If you’re submitting slides, you can find Kodachrome and Ektachrome film in art stores or online. Consider a mail-order slide processing service like Coopers Imaging if you can’t find a developer locally.

on headshots to have a great photo. If you’re auditioning in person, don’t get upset or flustered if the panel wants you to make an adjustment to a monologue or song. It can actually mean that they’re impressed with you and want to see how you take direction! You may also be asked to improvise–to cold-read a scene for acting or to sight-read if you’re singing. MUSIC Musicians auditioning long-distance may need to submit more than just a CD of their music. Increasingly, schools want DVD auditions, including close-ups of embouchure or fingering. In person, remember that you have a limited amount of time–don’t be alarmed if the panel cuts you off before a song is finished and asks to hear another one. They just want to see as much from you as they can. Remember to bring multiple copies of your sheet music, since the panel will want to be able to see what you’re playing to help them evaluate your performance. And, like singers, come ready to sight-read.
FILM Stick to the running time given in the school’s guidelines! If you have a script or storyboard, the admissions committee may be interested in seeing those, too, so check the website for details. It’s difficult for high school students to make even a movie with limited resources, and film schools know that. Because of this, many of them accept work from other genres. If you have a short story you’re proud of or an essay that rocks, use that to give yourself an edge. Film schools want to know that you can tell a story, and you can show them your capabilities even if you don’t have a prizewinning short. No matter your genre, your audition or portfolio is about breadth as well as depth. You’ll need to demonstrate proficiency with a range of styles or expressive modes, such as a classical aria and a jazz standard, or ballet and modern dance. Choose pieces you love, no matter what, and your passion and talent will come through–and that’s sure to catch the eye of the selection committee.
