Most of you know about crit week. Normally it is just a good group of us volunteering in the crit center. Thanks for those who do. Well we are going to continue doing that and turn up the heat a bunch. We have to continually raise funds to keep this site free (It is reaching uber expensive to run btw...) and we want the things we do to raise those funds to come back as badass stuff to do with the educational programs here. The biggest event we have had on the site is about to begin.
Here is the info from the other thread in the live streaming forums:
An Artist’s portfolio represents their capabilities at all levels, from the student entering an Art and Design College to the successful professional working in their chosen field who is striving to always grow. A students biggest challenge when trying to get into art school or get their dream job, their dream gallery, or just a foot in the door, is knowing what to do with their portfolio. Approximately 90 percent of students leaving art school are doing so unprepared. Many take six months or more after school to resolve the portfolio problem. Those chasing scholarships face challenges with their portfolios exactly the same way. As a professional, the portfolio must continually evolve in order for the artist to continue to reach their goals and get where they want to be with their career. Even as professionals, getting input is key to moving forward. The information obstacles must be overcome for artists of all levels in order for success to come as quickly as possible, and for us all to improve.
ConceptArt.Org is bringing together a group of leading artists from some of the hottest entertainment companies, independent illustrators, fine artists, game artists, graphic novel, and film professionals together to help. Beginning Monday Nov 1st you will have your chance to hear the truth about your work, and answers to set you in the center of your path. You choose who you want to spend one on one time with, showcasing your best work right here on conceptart.org and getting the straight truth.
Need direction? Need opportunity? There will be both. Artists from companies like Valve, id software, Massive Black, and The Illustration Academy’s faculty are on hand to make sure you get what you need to move your life forward. Need a break? Need to focus?
Attendees will be of both student and professional groups, as well as hobbyists with just a mild interest in it all. However, when you bring a group like this together, and you make a splash, you are tapping into a very deep connection pool. Marko Djurdjevic was discovered on ConceptArt.Org. You can be too! Just need advice? Yeah, there is plenty of that on the way. Best part is, you can watch the entire period you select, meaning you get to see what they say about others works too from your team of instructors.
Want to get your portfolio reviewed? You can do that.
Want to see others portfolio reviews? You can do that too.
Want both? You can do that too!
Want to see all of them? You can do that too!!
Artists often learn best while hearing and seeing what teachers say about others works. There is less of an ego hit when it is not of your own soul, idea or hand. Make it easy on yourself. Get your portfolio reviewed. Take the hard truth told in constructive and motivating fashion, and then sit back and formulate your own ideas about the discussion on others works, and the art itself. You will learn, and that is no joke.
Portfolio Reviews will be by:

***This professional portfolio review team is here to answer your questions and go over your works. Seats are limited. This will sell out.
How does it work? We are streaming the portfolio reviews right from the forums themselves using LiveStream. All reviews are recorded and you may watch your chosen sessions at the time of your choosing. You don’t have to be there live. You can let it record and come back and see for yourself. Have a question or two and can’t make it live? Just post the questions you have in your thread and they will be answered. You can watch again, including those of your art review team slot where you see the reviews of your peers for the next fourteen days.
----------------------------------------
Where:
Post your portfolio in the designated forum(s) and make your very own thread with your five best images in it. You can find the forums here:

If you are interested in the upcoming Art Department Educational Program, http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=172141&page=8 you can get the real info you can use regarding your portfolio to go beyond the normal portfolio information guidelines. This is the straight truth on what you need to personally do to not only get in, but also what you can do on your own to go after the full ride and partial ride scholarships. This is a worthy show. Those that miss will be falling behind already.
