Making a succesful art supplement?

<p>Hey, I'm doing the art supplement for a business school I'm applying to and I need some advice: which pieces should I take out?</p>

<p>Here are some things I considered...
They probably don't want to be looking at a lot of art... they don't have that much time...
however, they probably want to see a range of skill
but if I put in my "range," I'll have a lot of weak pieces (I am very weak in a lot of types of media)</p>

<p>Anyways, here it is. Click on the thumbnails and then click "all sizes" to see the full version. Let me know which pieces I should take out/leave in for the art supplement.

<p>Also, will colleges care much about my art supplement (will it be significant at all in their decision making progress?). I'm applying to wharton (penn) so I don't know... art is a big part of my life, but I am not writing any essays or anything about it. All that I have for them to know I'm into art currently is art classes on my transcript, recommendation letter from art teacher as necessary in art supplement, art portfolio (above), and a small description of my art experience (classes took/summer programs/competitions entered into/galleries art placed into/etc.), my art experience being very very little anyways.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot.

<p>So.... where are the "bad" ones? I honestly think they're all really good... Please tell me some of them are photos?</p>

<p>well, some of my pieces are a lot weaker and some of them I did a really long time ago (I have some stuff in that link from as far back as 6th grade...). And yes there are some photos there :P</p>

<p>Hm, I'm an art student too and I think you should take out the Are You Dreaming one. I don't think it showcases your talent as well as the other ones. Also, you could take out one of the first 6 pencil drawings since they can tell from your first few pieces the level you're at in that medium. I really like the mapmaker, btw. It reminds me of this one drawing I saw with a hand drawing a hand :)</p>

<p>I'm no artist, but I agree that the Are You Dreaming one doesn't showcase your talent as well as the others.</p>

<p>wait, so i know there are some photos, but otherwise is this graphic design or drawing?</p>

<p>Hey. I took AP Studio Art and submitted an art supplement when I applied to colleges.</p>

<p>I'd stay on the conservative side. Meaning, you pick and select artwork based on your audience. I would avoid Face, Old man, Are you dreaming. I'm a little bit iffy about Hide too. Though it is a fabulous piece of art, Would it appeal to a bunch of old farts on the Wharton admissions board... Absolutely :D</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
