Announcing an open call to artists for Blick's Day of Dead Art Challenge. We invite you to submit an original artwork, and then enter our random drawing to win one of five $400 prize packs. Day of the Dead is an annual holiday, which started in Mexico and has spread around the world. Every year, family and friends gather to remember and honor their departed ancestors. Many artists have celebrated by creating special works, spawning a wonderful Day of the Dead genre. What does the holiday inspire in you? We want to see! All mediums are accepted — limit one entry per artist.

The College of New Jersey’s Department of Art and Art History invites all prospective students to attend Art Attack, our annual Open House and Portfolio Consultation Day.
Phone: (609) 771-2652 Email: [email protected] Website:art.pages.tcnj.edu Please bring your physical portfolio to Art Attack rather than digital images of your work. If you need to show digital files including photo and video, please bring a laptop or tablet on which to display the work. A strong complete portfolio from high school seniors or transfer applicants could meet the portfolio requirement for admission to the Art Education and Visual Arts majors, although applicants would still have to submit the remaining required academic criteria for admission and be comprehensively reviewed prior to admission to the college. Students are encouraged to show their work even as juniors or if their portfolio is incomplete. Our faculty members are happy to provide advice on how to improve the portfolio before final submission. A strong and complete portfolio at Art Attack would feature 12 or more original works demonstrating the applicant’s drawing and technical skills, creativity, and aesthetic ability. A substantial part of the portfolio should feature drawings (still life, figure, self-portrait, and assorted sketches). We encourage you to include additional work in other media such as painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography, mixed-media, digital media, and video. If possible, please also include at least one image from a sketchbook. Each student will meet with a team of two professors for the consultation. Each team of professors has been assigned two rooms, so while they are meeting with one student in room A, the next student can be laying out their art on a table or pulling up documents on a laptop in the room B. Therefore, please go to your assigned room 10 minutes early to prepare. Due to the amount of people present at Art Attack, portfolio consultations are limited to 10 minutes. The portfolio consultation is the same for all majors and specializations. The College of New Jersey Department of Art and Art History Art and Interactive Multimedia Building 2000 Pennington Road Ewing, New Jersey 08628-0718 609-771-2652 Photo Design students have been working hard on their "value" portraits. Students have learned about lightness and darkness in an artwork, and how to create a value scale. They are using value scales to create self portraits from a photo reference. Keep up the good work!
