PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENTS
The portfolio requirement offers candidates an opportunity
to share visual interests. The work may include but is not limited to:
reproductions of drawings, paintings, photographs, mixed-media, graphics,
cartooning, or photographs of ceramics, sculpture, wood-work, and models.
Although drafting (CAD or hand) courses are not required from entering freshmen
for admission, students who want to include such drawings are free to do so.
Slides and electronic media, however, will not be viewed and therefore should
not be included.
Each student may determine the binder or folder that best
contains the work. Please do not bother with expensive binders or complicated
systems. The binder does not need to express creativity; simple, easy-to-turn
pages matter most. Each portfolio must include the following:
1. Preferred size is 8.5 X 11 inches.
2. Cover page (inside the portfolio) with name, student identification number,
mailing address, email address,
and telephone number.
3. Descriptive sentence(s) that list when the piece was done, why (for class,
individually, etc) and if the work is
part of a group project, exactly what part of the project
reflects the candidate’s work.
Your portfolio should be mailed directly to (please note that portfolios
are discarded unless a self addressed
stamped envelope or mailing packet is provided):
