<p>I want to submit an art portfolio but does it have to be professional? I usually just do it for fun in my art classes. What do adcoms look for? Also I'm not exactly looking to major in art. I want colleges to notice my passion for art.</p>
<p>sending in an art portfolio used to involve taking slides of your work and submitting a slide sheet...at least, that's what i did two years ago (i had all the stuff anyway from taking the ap art exam). but i'm pretty sure you can just submit a cd of digital images of your work. obviously you'd get the best answer by calling the school/art department and asking, though.</p>
<p>Spazzatatck :), excellent that you are thinking a bit ahead. Emizzly is correct.
You will need to submit usually in slide format or CD.</p>
<p>If you have narrowed down your list of colleges to say 7-10 or so...check out
their art portfolio requirements - common app art supplement or their
own? Read the directions immediately and prepare your portfolio as early as possible.</p>
<p>The Art supplement can majorly enhance your application. My major pursuit
is engineering however I was helped tremendously due to
submission of art supplement forms for the 5 colleges I narrowed down to
for the current year.</p>
<p>I actually customized my submission for each college, for example more
contemporary for Princeton, more classical for Stanford etc. </p>
<p>Also do check out the NFAA competition for next year
(registration usually starts in June for the Arts Scholars) it can be a great help.</p>
