Manipulate color, composition, line, texture and value to convey your ideas. Your work need not be mounted, matted, framed or even finished. We encourage you to show us sketchbooks because we are equally interested in the processes by which you make your work as we are in the final product of your efforts. Keep a sketchbook as a visual journal or diary. You do not need to treat each page as if it were the Mona Lisa.
Sketchbooks are places ripe for experimentation, so go wild.
Paste, scrape, scribble, doodle, write. The Admissions Committee will love it. We recommend that you limit your portfolio to work you have created within the past two years. This will offer the best reflection of what you are capable of today.
