Art schools provide students with an academic and creative education.
Certain art schools in America have become famous in contemporary society. For example, the film "Fame" was based on the High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts in New York City. This school boasts such famous graduates as Al Pacino, Adrian Brody and Jennifer Aniston. The best art schools provide students with a creative education and solid academic foundation for university studies. Auditioning for an art school often is a highly competitive, stressful process.
Instructions
1. Register to audition. Some art schools require that your junior high or elementary school register on your behalf while others allow you to contact them directly and register. Some schools have open calls for auditions on designated dates. For example, applicants who have a last name that starts with "A to L" will appear on one day and applicants with a surname beginning with "M to Z" on another day.
2. Check with the school to determine what is involved in the audition. Dance applicants may have to take part of a ballet class and perform a short piece. Drama applicants may have to perform a couple monologues. Art applicants may have to bring a portfolio and complete a drawing exercise.
3. Prepare and practice what you will need to show at the audition. Drama applicants need to pick one or two monologues that are age appropriate. Instrumental applicants need to be prepared to play a piece of music. Applicants should feel comfortable with the work they've chosen to showcase or perform.
4. Gather all the materials that you need for the audition. Bring a photograph of yourself, school transcripts, and pencil and paper. Dance majors should bring dance clothing. Art applicants should bring their portfolios and art supplies. Instrumental applicants should bring their instruments unless they play the piano.
