Students are encouraged to submit a cohesive body of work in the media of their choosing rather than a selection of unrelated work.  Works created independently of classroom assignments, or works created in a portfolio class reflecting a student’s creative direction are preferable to a selection of assignments.  Students may submit work in more than one medium, though a thematic focus is recommended.  Students are encouraged to work with any trusted art teacher or mentor who is available to provide feedback on work selection, though we understand that not every applicant will have access to this assistance.
