<p>To anyone who sent in some of your artwork as supplemental material to college, I was just wondering..</p>
<p>How many pieces/works you sent
How you sent them (photographed and then via CD?)
If you think they played a role in your acc/rej</p>
<p>You should check the requirements of each college for art portfolios - they vary widely. Some of the colleges have very specific rules for art portfolios. My son sent in 12 slides in one plastic sheet. Some of the schools asked that the slides be labeled in particular ways (with ss# or name and date of birth, etc.); some want the portfolios sent directly to the art department instead of admissions. My son sent in a 1 page summary sheet with the slides, describing each piece - dimensions, medium, etc. He did the photography himself, although some pay professionals to do this.</p>
<p>Oh, thanks for the insight.
Even if they were to be sent to the art department, they would still be considered with the regular admissions application, right? I'm not planning on majoring in art, but many people send in supplemental information.. And since I used to take a Studio in Art course and have about ten very good pieces, I think I would like to show them to the schools that I apply to so that they can see how much time I've spent developing my talent and love for art.</p>
<p>Yes, in the case of the schools I'm referring to. The admissions department looks to the art department to evaluate the slides.</p>
