Question: I'm looking forward to art school, but I have a question regarding the portfolio!?
I've researched plenty of places, but I'm confused about the application process!. I'm only a senior just now, so I haven't applied anywhere yet, and I'm assuming I'll get the answer to this question then!.!. but, I'm curious, so I can be prepared!. So, I'm assuming you fill out a standard college application, and then!.!. you send some of your photos!? Or, is it like!.!. during the interview, you bring your photos!? I hope I'm directing this question to art-school-go'ers!.!. who can possibly tell me what they had in their portfolios and what made them i guess, stand out to the admission directors!.!. Soo!.!. HELP! Thanks : )Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you're applying to an art school, you'll be sending in your portfolio, or more likely, a disc containing photos of your work!. The only time I ever brought one to the interview was to a liberal arts college, and I really don't think even that is standard practice!. Each school that requires a portfolio will have specific requirements on what they want to see!. You posted this in "photography" which is not my field, so I can't really get more specific than that!. But generally I can say that they are certainly not expecting a "mature body of work" from a high school student, but look for a more focused pursuit than the average 17-year-old who just kind of "likes art!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
