Digital Portfolio:

We want to see how you approach and resolve creative problems. Please submit images of the following pieces to be evaluated with your application.

• A non-traditional self-portrait. Your self-portrait should tell us something about yourself and can be in the medium of your choosing.
• 3-5 finished pieces in mediums of your choosing completed in a class and/or supervised by an instructor.
• 3-5 finished pieces in mediums of your choosing completed outside of a class and without the supervision or input of an instructor.
• 5-10 pages from your sketchbook.
• 3-5 works in progress in mediums of your choice.

All work should be submitted on Google Slides. One image per slide with the details below written alongside each piece. Please copy and paste the URL in the field below and ensure there is not a set time expiration.

For each slide please include:

• Your full name
• Name of piece
• Category (i.e. self-portrait, supervised work, sketchbook excerpt)
• Dimensions
• Medium

Please provide us with the contact information for someone who is familiar with your interests and experience with visual art (such as a teacher or mentor). We will contact your reference directly with a link to complete their recommendation. Please let your reference know that they can expect to receive an email from our team during the first week of May with a link to short answer questions that they will need to complete by Thursday, June 9.
