art supplements

does anyone knwo the address you send art supplements to for duke, harvard, yale, and upenn?

<p>as in slides? submit directly to admissions...unless you are in contact with a professor who will write you a short rec...</p>

<p>i mean, what if they have an art department that needs them?</p>

<p>For most colleges, you send the slides to the admissions and they send them off...What colleges are you talking about?</p>

<p>yale,harvard,penn,duke</p>

<p>yale and harvard...send directly to the admissions people...yale's slides are due on the 31st though...check out their website...you really need to rush to get in the slides in</p>

<p>i thought yale pushed their deadline to jan 4th</p>

<p>Not for art slides...when I called they made it clear that art and music supplements need to be in by the 31st...just send by fedex overnight...don't forget drawing from perspective! good luck...</p>

<p>haha.. wait what "drawing from perspective"? was that a joke? i dont get it haha oh well whatver. and i hope that whe nyou say by the 31st you mean "postmarked" by the 31st because if they're not there they cant really recieve it by then.</p>

<p>Umm...no its not a joke...Yale basically requires that artist submitting slides submit drawings from perspective....as in one point, two point, or three point...(from still life, figure drawing etc.)
Yale is ranked as one of the best art schools in the country and so if you are submitting work it should include drawings that show a classical background of study in drawing and whatever else you do. Like, I am a photographer/metalsmith so I submitted 10 slides of strong metal and photo work. 5 conceptual pieces (as in less technical) and 5 drawings from perspective. Pretend like you're applying to arts school; the standards of your portfolio should be at that level. </p>

<p>And actually, on the yale website it says "recieved by 31st of December".</p>

<p>how do you make picture slides? Can't you just take a digital picture of you're drawing and send it in? I'm thinking of submitting some artwork for Penn, how should I go about doing this (I'm not majoring in arts or anything though)?</p>

<p>Umm...its pretty simple but actually pretty hard. First, you need a 35 mm camera, a tripod, and lights (usually two or three lights will due...if you're doing 3d work you'll need more) Use a good camera, preferably a 35mm with a single-lens reflex. Use the proper slide film and lighting. Consult your art teacher, a professional photographer, or your local camera store owner for advice. Photograph each piece individually; the piece should completely fill the camera frame. Use a neutral background for 3-D pieces. If in doubt about exposure time, take three slides of each piece: one at the automatic reading, one an f/stop higher and one an f/stop lower. Most importantly, take your time. Re-shoot if necessary. Select the best shots -- those that truly represent your work. Get a really good mix of 3D and 2D work and remember to balance conceptual and technical pieces. </p>

<p>I want to tell you though, I've been taking slides of my work for about three years and I still am bad at it (for example, getting glares on my metal work). Slides take a VERY long time 20 pieces= 4 hours basically...</p>

<p>I've collected slides from each time I complete a series of work...</p>

<p>And for your other question...most top level schools do not accept digital pictures...Check with the Penn's website but I know that every Ivy I'm applying will not look at pictures...(they project the work and look at it on a big screen). Most ivy schools also require slides be in by the 31st...</p>

<p>ahhh, i did as you said , except i used a regular camera. and i senet it in to be developed. sadly i just took random shots. and i am only submitting one WORK of mine which i think is good. i dont want to send in my others (****ty, detrimental) so yeha, thanks for the tips but my teacher is on break and i only had one camera. i took it outdoors so it should be fine at least. the slides come individually developed right? i hope so.</p>

<p>regular camera as in 35 mm? you used slide film right? I really recommend sending in more than one piece...my teachers discourage anyway from submitting at list a portfolio of drawing plus other medium...especially to yale and harvard...sending one piece is going to hurt your chances...(see the yale website)...really, I am serious...why would you send something that can actually detract from your app?</p>

<p>well first i dont know what this means ? "my teachers discourage anyway from submitting at list a portfolio of drawing plus other medium."</p>

<p>this is my artwork btw <a href="http://ragthree.com/misc/itoldyouso.gif%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://ragthree.com/misc/itoldyouso.gif&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>i thought they said only send in pieces that you liked? they didnt say send in many pieces? if the one piece is good and it won a lot of awards. wouldnt it be worth sending it? can you explain this to me?</p>

<p>i mean yeah it talks about sending in TOO many art pieces, or art pieces that arent good ( and i hope mine is good) but nothing about too little of an amount in art pieces right?</p>

<p>I have nothing productive to add to this thread other than that to my untrained eye, that piece looks beautiful, Princeofnam. I couldn't imagine how sending that in would hurt, although I have no idea about the art submissions process so you shouldn't listen to me.</p>

<p>Princeofnam...please go to this website...(<a href="http://www.yale.edu/admit/freshmen/application/supplementary.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.yale.edu/admit/freshmen/application/supplementary.html&lt;/a&gt;) Submitting one piece does nothing to your chances besides cost you money...I am not going to critique your work, but that drawing is not good enough to stand alone...check out kebree's work...this is what other people are submitting (<a href="http://artattack.to/display.php?artist=1000001376%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://artattack.to/display.php?artist=1000001376&lt;/a&gt;)... yale specifically states that unnecessary supplementary material can hurt your chances...and that drawing does not show me anything you couldn't sum up in the "awards" you said it had won (congradulations by the way)...</p>

<p>if the artwork was to be seen was, pretty good or average? why would it hurt my chances from people who didnt send anything in?</p>

<p>can we talk on aim?</p>

<p>well it won top in my state as a american visions scholastic art award and then continued as a national nominee.</p>

<p>my dad went through all this trouble to take pictures of it and then make slides of it . even went downtow nfor fast results. do you think this could be detrimental to my app?</p>
