For Art Educators
Supporting Art Teachers & Their Students
At ArtBound, we know that art educators are dedicated to developing students’ creative talents—teaching them the techniques, disciplines, and expressive skills that form the foundation of great artistry. While educators focus on cultivating creativity and technical mastery, ArtBound complements their efforts by helping students present their work professionally for art school applications.
School Visits
We offer in-person and virtual school visits where ArtBound founder Brian Miller, a professor, designer, and Simon & Schuster author, speaks to students about pursuing an education in art and preparing a winning portfolio. These engaging sessions help students understand:
What top art schools look for in a portfolio
How to showcase their unique artistic voice
The importance of professional presentation in applications
How to navigate the art school selection process
Our school visits are designed to motivate, educate, and inspire students, giving them the confidence and direction needed to take their next steps toward a creative future.
