It always shocks me how much knowledge art students in first world countries have even before they start college. Your portfolio showed so much maturity and skills, it's beautiful! My whole classs at our second year of art school still doesn't know how to build a portfolio so to me seeing this is absolutely mesmerizing
You explain things so well THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH THANK YOU I’m only a freshman but I think it’s important I start preparing now thank you so much again you’re art work is beautiful
There are so many accepted art portfolios on youtube, and I always wonder what the ultimate intention of the student will be (such as become an illustrator for example). Long ago I applied to RISD and Pratt, ended with Pratt BFA. Then took a summer scholarship to Skowhegan School (Maine), and then obtained MFA at Columbia Univ. I never specifically studied any job or career oriented course during those years. So my goal was strictly to develop as a so-called fine artist. I later did many odd jobs such as some illustration, printing commissioned silk screen prints, etc, and eventually made my living in graphic design. But that was just a job and secondary to my personal goals. Fine arts is extremely difficult to make any kind of living, but that is my skill and first love always. For me, I never wanted to do portraits or other types of commissions, and have always turned down such offers. I became financially successful through other means. I cannot complain about the tribulations of art since over time I was exhibited in many venues, have works in collections of "the rich and famous", famous actors and athletes, patrons, important collections, and an increasing number of museums. I am aware that some artists have stumbled upon unimaginable success, but I never like their art so I don't envy their success. It is not about money. My goal is really to have the works acquired by museums, even if I part with them without compensation. That's the life I wanted. Anyway, whatever YOUR goals are, we wish you well in achieving them.
I love how you use color. It's really unique and beautiful, I rarely see young students really experiment with color like this, but I've always loved contrasting light with dark.
your portfolio is impressive!! I've seen so many youtubers who are into art and always get disappointed when they show their work 😭😭 you have an amazing mastery of technical skills and use of materials, but your choosing of themes and concepts are also great, congratulations!!!
C'est super intéressant bien que j'étudie l'histoire de l'art et non l'art appliqué, en plus tu parles très clairement donc ça m'aide en compréhension de l'anglais !
You're a hero. You're still doing what you're meant to do. My parents are strictly against too neither I have the financial support so I'm thinking of putting my guard down. It is rough. But you're winning.
My parents refused to help with college too... I joined the NAVY the moment I was old enough I was able to go to college when I came back. It's not for everyone but it's an option if you want to study what you want without giving your parents an in for criticism or negative comments.
@@alejandrarosales7836 I share the same thought. But it does build a lot of pressure as you've to work enough so that you become able in paying your fees later.
i just wanted to say your artwork is absolutely beautiful and i love your enthusiasm. i was having a horrible day and this video inspired me to start a new piece :) keep working hard!!
Aww I hope you feel better soon! Try smelling something nice or eating something sweet or taking a hot bath with music. That always works for me on those days when I want the world to disappear! :)
@@la_princesse_des_beauxarts I'm a photography student myself, so please, make more videos about you work, how you got inspired and how you went on your creative journey. This one video inspired me so so much. 💜😻
Your portfolio is incredible!! Your pieces evoked many emotions in myself, and they were all so beautiful and well thought out. Amazing work!! It really inspired me. Thank you!
i'm at my first year of fine arts academy in my hometown, but i really wanna apply to the Beaux-Arts in Paris, either for erasmus or for my master degree. so this was really helpful, thank you!
I go to a STEM high school and am scared of my chances at an Art school, but I'm gonna try my best with applications and the portfolios! Also, what you described reminded me of my own OCD, which I also want to convey in my art. :)
Im not sure if it’s like that for you, but for me art is war. And I love feeling that way. But god you’re tough. Respect. Seeing that I compete with people like you for a spot in the academy makes me feel honoured. I’ll gladly fight my way into that academy.
I used to feel that way too but time has taught me the value of relaxation and release-sometimes opportunities come when you stop trying too hard. It’s a balance of upstream and downstream effort!
@@la_princesse_des_beauxartssorry for being edgy. I honestly feel like I should be way more humble lol I am so sorry- but thanks and for real your art is amazing and I can’t wait to see more!!
This is insane. Incredible work, what field of fine arts did you study? Simply - fine arts? Any specific branch? I don't think I will be able to add in so much different stuff. All I can do is line-art, comic-art, graphic-art, light-dark-contrast and that's it... I don't stand a chance dayum
Do you know where I can see more example accepted portfolios into ENSBA because online I've only seen a very small handful? This would be greatly appreciated. Really lovely work on your side too btw :)
Thank you so much! I spoke French as a toddler growing up in Montréal, forgot it after moving to the USA and relearned it in high school. Yes, you need to know French to study here; I will make a video soon about which resources/methods I used to improve my French! Thank you :)
this channel is a hidden gem ✨😩 thankyou very much for an informative video! your arts is very amazing and immaculate!♡ **can i also ask what materials or colored pencils, watercolors are they, you used at 12:13 / 11:56 ? (the Japanese style, yes) such as how you did the hair lining and that was so detailed tbh ! T----T ❤
Try yoshitaka amano and Takato Yamamoto! In addition to Suehiro maruo and ukiyo-e prints, there’s also Aubrey Beardsley and odilon redon (both are masters of black and white but redon has some gorgeous color paintings). Symbolism wise there’s also Gustave Moreau’s dreamy paintings and the iconic film Belladonna of sadness!
Such a cool channel and portfolio - you have what I can only describe as extreme talent. But I must say that for such an upbeat person your work is quite dark haha.
Hello, thanks for the great and informative video! I was wondering how you gradually improved your knowledge and techniques for art. Did you take art classes, and what exercises/resources did you find useful?
Yes absolutely! I will make a comprehensive video today about the art programs/classes I took before college/university/art school. Thanks for the idea!
When you did the entrance exam for école beaux arts de paris - did you bring all these paintings and drawings physically or did you make prints of them to bring for the jury at the entrance exam to look at?
Thank you for your answer! So you didn't have to bring your portfolio when you did the writing and drawing test? What I understand for this year's first year entrance exam is that you have to bring your portfolio irl to hand in while you do the tests.@@la_princesse_des_beauxarts
@@kerstinnylund1960 Hello im also trying the exam, it was not clear on their website but i understood that you have to bring your artistic book and give it before/after the art philosophie writting test and the drawing test
Start by looking through some general art history and finding which artists and art movements you love! Then slowly create your own artistic universe and steadily learn techniques to bring them into reality :)
@@sayyidhaneshwa6683 dorling kindersley “DK” ‘s “50 great artists explained” was my introduction to art around the age of 6! Though I’ve been drawing for fun before haha
I read that you need to take the culture and analysis test.. i couldn't find examples is it filled with questions you have to answer or do you have to just talk about the topic and tell them what you know about art theories? Please tell me🙏🏽❤️
How old were you when you got in? Currently I am taking a gap year, also to work on my portfolio, I'm 19. But im afraid it wont be anough, would applying at 21 be better or worse?
hello, thanks for great informative video. i just want to ask a few questions: 1. How did you come up with these ideas, where did you take inspiration from? 2. what we need in a good portfolio? 3. can i prepare portfolios in 3 months for foundation programs, what are your recommendations for applying foundation programms? 4. Can we also show them our works that we did in our sketchbooks? should i go over the requirements when it comes to number of portfolios? should i submit as much as i want if they are so beautiful? Thanks in advance...
1. From my whimsical fantastical sense of observation. Other popular inspirations for art generally speaking can be current events, personal experiences, literature, history, bible, multidisciplinary etc 2. Strong pieces technically and conceptually 3. I don’t know about foundation programs specifically. If they have high tuition they will probably take anyone who is decent lol 4. Show ur strongest sketchbook works only Good luck!

Hey quick question, Does anyone know if 4 artworks like the ones at 7:20 be considered one piece ? ( Great art btw.)
I taped these four drawings together on the back and they made « one piece »!

About How many drawing we must put on the portfolio for ecole des beaux art ?
Sorry, I don’t know! I don’t think there’s a limit but a lot has changed since I applied in 2017.
How old were you when you got in? Currently I am taking a gap year, also to work on my portfolio, I'm 19. But im afraid it wont be anough, would applying at 21 be better or worse?
I was 18-but I don’t think you can compare generally because every one is so different, and only you know yourself so I can’t answer that :)

2. what we need in a good portfolio?
3. can i prepare portfolios in 3 months for foundation programs, what are your recommendations for applying foundation programms?
4. Can we also show them our works that we did in our sketchbooks? should i go over the requirements when it comes to number of portfolios? should i submit as much as i want if they are so beautiful?
Thanks in advance...
1. From my whimsical fantastical sense of observation. Other popular inspirations for art generally speaking can be current events, personal experiences, literature, history, bible, multidisciplinary etc
2. Strong pieces technically and conceptually
3. I don’t know about foundation programs specifically. If they have high tuition they will probably take anyone who is decent lol
4. Show ur strongest sketchbook works only
Good luck!
