Art Work

<p>I have photo prints that I want to supplement to my application. I don't have copies to send to all schools. What is the best format to send supplemental visual art work in? I also have of architecture models I created from a summer architecture program I attended, again what is the best format? Also whow much weight do they place on this subject in the admissions process</p>

<p>It seems slides are traditionally the best format to send in work. Look on the school's website or call the admissions or art department and ask. Schools may also accept CD's or prints, but be careful, some schools I'm applying to say they won't look at anything but slides.</p>

<p>actually, i just went ahead and looked it up since i need to know as well.</p>

<p>Vassar</a> College Admissions</p>

<p>towards the bottom it talks about supplemental art submissions.</p>

<p>slides are definitely preferred, but cd's are accepted.</p>

<p>for the models, maybe you could photograph them and save the photographs to a cd, or makes them into slides?</p>

<p>and... i have no idea how much weight they place on artistic supplements, i kinda hope a lot... it should help me out. haha.</p>

<p>I recently submitted Vassar some art pieces I've done on a USB flash drive...</p>

<p>Anyway, from what I gathered from most of the selective LACs, the admissions office does not always need to see the art work you've done. Simply seeing your involvement in the arts on your transcript or EC list is enough as it shows DEDICATION TO A PASSION (a key thing to have in the college admissions game.) </p>

<p>After all, these colleges are admitting you based on your academic achievement, personality, and passions, not how well you can paint a figure. Obviously, it's a different thing when applying to art school.</p>
