<p>I think so if it's really good. Different medium is always a good thing. Show them a couple of drafting drawings. These could be free hand or autocad. If you don't have any don't worry. I would choose only about 2 or three of the water paintings. They tend to get repetitive. The people who view these things see hundreds of them so they don't have a lot of time. You really have to wow them. Pick maybe your best 10-15 drawings. no more than that.</p>
<p>Here's some options.
-drafted work
-free hand pencil
-water painting
-tapestry
-built models
-photos</p>
<p>They love to see models. Take pics of them and format it somehow on photoshop. Have a title also. I'm not talking models you buy in the store. These are abstract models made and created by you with some sort of theme. If you don't have any, once again don't worry.</p>
<p>I would only use maybe one or two of the tapestries. They have to be really good to show though. When the weather gets nice, try to go outside and draw a building. pay close attention to the shade on the side opposite of the sun, and the shadow casting on various parts of the building and on the ground.</p>
<p>Even photos you take of nature or buildings is good because it shows them you have an eye to be an architect. So main objective is to wow them. second is to make sure your porfolio is formated so it's easy to follow along. The third is to be as creative and unique as possible. Just be yourself. They are judging you not only on your talent but also on how your porfolio conveys your personality.</p>
<p>I would stay away from drafted work btw- but other than that-- go for it. execution is key as well- if it looks sloppy it probably is. Don't be afraid to have the majority of your portfolio as something like free hand still lifes. As for buildings-- maybe one or two-- but the composition, execution, and perhaps even the "presence" counts much more than the general subject.</p>
<p>High quality work is high quality work there are no two ways about it.</p>
<p>i have no idea bout claywork, model building or any kind of 3D stuff and im not good at photography. now its a little late to start learning (jan 1st deadline)...i hope shading n painting will b fine.....</p>
<p>Goofy43, Freehand pencil and paintings are just fine. It's part of your personality so don't change it. Just remember what I said. Lots of contrast. 0-10 remember that. Pencil drawings in the 4-8 range get lost as well as paintings. Lots of shade and shadow. If you don't have time to do anymore just use the 10 best you have. Be creative in the layout. You can buy one of those premade portfolios but try to personalize it somehow. If you think your tapestries are really good then I would definitely use those. Don't worry, you'll do fine. The worse thing that will happen is that you might have to enroll in the liberal arts college and take art classes to show you can draw. then reapply next year.</p>
