Скачать или смотреть HOW TO apply for Art/Design School - Q&A for High Schoolers feat. CCA Admissions Counselor

If you're in high school and interested in getting a degree in design, you've probably got a lot of questions!

In this video, I sit down with James Yu, an Admissions counselor at California College of the Arts (which is an Art/Design school in here in San Francisco), to talk about what it takes to get into a design school like CCA and what to expect.

We talk about:
1. How to apply to design school
2. How to design a strong portfolio for submission
3. Why someone would want to go to a design school

Hope this is helpful for anyone considering this path! Leave your questions/comments below 🔥
