🎨 Free eBook for Parents: How to Prepare a DSA Visual Arts Portfolio (Real Tips from Experience)

[lohghimchong-gmail.com]

Hi parents

I’ve put together a free eBook that explains, in simple steps, how families can guide their children to build a strong DSA Visual Arts portfolio — based on real experience from helping both my daughters through the process.

It’s a practical guide written by a fellow parent, covering what schools generally look for, how to organise artworks, and what to expect during the DSA trial test and interview.

You can read or download it here:

Purely an informational resource for parents who might be preparing for DSA Visual Arts this year or in future.

Hope this helps more families approach the process with clarity and confidence!
