Your portfolio should be a collection of 10 to 20 examples of your best work that reflects your talent and potential. It can contain original work, 35mm slides, or a combination of both. You may send a variety of media (any combination of pencil, pastel, charcoal, watercolor, photo, oil, collage, ink, etc.). Every item in your portfolio must be labeled with your name, title of work, medium, size, and date completed.

  Original two-dimensional works should be neatly matted and demonstrate your drawing ability and use of color, your creativity, imagination, and originality. Include at least three drawings from direct observation. Examples of three-dimensional work should be submitted in slide or photo form.

• Print your name on the front side of each slide (shiny side)
• Place an ink dot to indicate top of artwork on each slide
• Number the slides

  Portfolios can be received from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. , Monday through Friday, in the Department of Art, sixth floor (room #604), Price Doyle Fine Arts Center, before the deadline FEBRUARY 1. Whether mailing or hand delivering your work, if you want your work returned to you by mail, you must include return postage; otherwise the Department of Art will hold your work for you to pick up.

  When packing your work, place everything in one container. Use a flat box, a purchased artist's portfolio, or large pieces of cardboard taped securely around your work. Be sure your package is secure and reusable so we can mail it back to you. Mail your portfolio so it will be received in the Department of Art no later than FEBRUARY 1.
