<p>Is anyone submitting an arts supplement for visual arts? I'm very confused about the process.
According to the Harvard website:
"Slides</p>
<pre><code>* If you are sending slides, please label each mount with your legal name, date of birth and high school.
* Please insert all slides into clear plastic, notebook-style slide pages.
* Please send visual artwork only in slide format unless your work must be viewed in electronic form in order to be evaluated.
* Please choose a maximum of 12 slides representing your best work.
* Please indicate the total number of slides submitted in your cover letter."
</code></pre>
<p>What do they mean by "slides"? Glass slides? Printed hard copies enclosed in plastic envelopes?
Please help. Thanks.</p>
<p>“Slides” are generally one of two things produced by a camera which accepts “film”. “Film” was used in cameras to produce pictures until the late 1900s when cameras with digital storage became more popular. Film produces either a “negative” which can then be used to “print” a picture or a “slide” which is a “positive” of the same thing. A “slide” looks like the item being photographed, however they are generally small (about 2" square, including the past-board surround). Generally, “slides” are viewed with a “slide projector” which enables multiple people to view the object at the same time (or prevents individuals from getting eye strain). You may be able to find a film camera in the possession of one of your elderly (over 30 years old) neighbors and you <em>may</em> be able to obtain the film for it at the local grocery store. If there is a camera store in your city, you may want to check it out. They will be able to assist you in loading the film camera.</p>
