Success in this program involves receiving
constructive criticism and feedback from peers

and instructors. Explain how you have dealt with
constructive criticism in the past. Provide examples.

PORTFOLIO

Applicants must submit an electronic portfolio as part
of the admissions process. An applicant's portfolio
chronicles their experience and talent as an artist.
The portfolio must demonstrate creativity and
passion.

A diverse portfolio showcases a comprehensive
blend of technical and artistic skill. Artwork should be
recent and must include a variety of traditional and
digital media.

The portfolio is a critical part of the application
process and applicants should take care to ensure
that their work is presented as strongly as possible.
The Portfolio Evaluation Committee is looking for a
demonstration of visual awareness, creativity and
technical skill. Copying the work of another artist is
not acceptable.

Applicants should organize their work in a manner
that demonstrates development over a period of time
or organize their work by media type. Applicants must
be prepared to rationalize the inclusion of each piece
submitted.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

The portfolio must include 10 to 15 pieces that
represent skill and talent, with an emphasis on
diversity and quality over quantity.

Examples of works that can be included in your
Portfolio:

— Photography

— Digital art

— Traditional art

— Video or animation

— Music or sound design

— Websites or programming

— Graphic design

— Illustration

In addition to the required portfolio pieces, applicants
may choose to scan sections of their sketchbooks

and journals and submit them as a multi-paged pdf.
School assignments and independent explorations
will also be helpful to the Evaluation Committee.

TECHNICAL GUIDELINES:

Once an application to the Digital Arts program has
been received applicants will be contacted by the
College and given a 4 digit access code.

This code is required to submit the portfolio at
portfolio.selkirkmedia.com.
