PORTFOLIO

Admission to this full time program is competitive.
The portfolio is a very important part of the
application process and applicants should take care
to ensure that their work is presented as strongly
as possible. Digital Arts & New Media is looking for
a demonstration of visual awareness, creativity and
technical skill. Applicants should choose pieces for
their portfolios that demonstrate the nature, scope
and direction of their work. The portfolio pieces may
be of any medium and they need not be specific to
new media. Applicants should give special attention
to the following guidelines when preparing their
portfolios.

The number of pieces in an applicant's portfolio will
vary depending on the manner in which the applicant
works. Generally, the admissions committee would
like to see a minimum of eight (8) and a maximum of
twenty-four (24) pieces.

Portfolios should be brought to the interview and only
mailed if, because of distance, the applicant is unable
to attend their interview in person.

Two-dimensional works may be presented in their
original form. Three-dimensional pieces or any
works ona large scale should not be brought to the
interview but represented by photographs.

An applicant's portfolio must be the applicant's own
original work.

Applicants should organize their work and set it out
so that it shows development over a period of time or
group it according to type.

Applicants should bring their workbooks and journals.
School assignments and independent explorations
will also be helpful to the Admissions Committee.

Applicants must keep their presentations simple and
neat. Work should not be matted or framed.

If an applicant includes photographs of work, each

must include a list of the materials used, size of the

piece, title and date.

Examples may include:

— Photography: printed photographs or digital
images.

— New Media: Computer generated still images,
moving images (video or animation).

— Traditional art: paintings, drawings, sculptures or
other traditional media

— Theatre/Drama: Collection of images (reviews,
photos, programs), video or audio tapes

— Music: audio or videotape of your performance(s)
or composition(s).
