Architecture - creating the best portfolio for Architecture schools

From 121 C$ /h

Creating a portfolio to apply to architecture schools may seem imitating.
But with good guidance, you will be able to project yourself in creative and articulate ways.
You do not need to have creative skills and talent (these will develop in time), but an open mind, curiosity and eagerness to research, explore, develop and represent issues in different medias and in space.
I will be happy to work with you and teach you methodologies of design, creative thought, drawing and more in order to create a portfolio and prepare you for exams and interviews.

I am a 15 year experienced architect in NY and Tel-Aviv and a lecturer/tutor in Shenkar College.

Learn to draw like an architect. Whether you're preparing for an entrance exam, building an application portfolio, or simply want your sketches to look like they belong in a studio, I'll get you there.

I'm Aliya. I have an architecture degree and nine years of teaching experience — over 1,385 lessons with students in more than 20 countries, from complete beginners to applicants who went on to get accepted.

What we cover:

Freehand drawing — the foundation every admissions committee looks for
Linear and one-, two- and three-point perspective
Constructing buildings and interiors from imagination, not just from reference
Light, shadow and tonal work that gives drawings depth
Rendering in pencil, ink, marker and watercolour
Entourage — trees, figures, cars, the details that make a sketch feel alive
Composition and page layout for portfolio presentation
Fast sketching under exam conditions

This personalized online 1:1 course teaches architecture students how to use sketching as a tool for thinking, exploring and developing original design ideas-not simply as a way of creating beautiful drawings.

You will learn how to transform inspiration, concepts and research into analytical diagrams, spatial studies and architectural sketches. We will explore composition, form, movement, light, material, scale and atmosphere while developing a clear visual process from the first idea to an architectural proposal.

The course is adapted to your individual level and projects. It is suitable for students who want to strengthen their design process, overcome fear of sketching, improve their studio work or create more meaningful portfolio pages. No advanced drawing skills are required-only curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
