Step 2. Application and portfolio

6 tips

    • Show your range and how you are able to work with different materials, themes and techniques.
    • Process is more important than perfection. Include some of your unfinished work to give us an idea of how you research, experiment and develop ideas.
    • Create a strong narrative with a powerful beginning and ending that one remembers.
    • Be determined. If you have a particular piece that you don’t quite know how to explain, leave it out. Your ability to select from and edit your own work is important.
    • Put your vision and how you work into words; brief passages to guide us through your creative process.
    • Show us what you want us to see, not what you think we want to see. Your personality, your individuality and your passion are your most valuable strengths.
