This portfolio should contain your best and most recent artwork. The entire application helps the Sculpture Area evaluate your achievements, as well as artistic and academic potential.

Portfolio Content/Format Recommendations

Select artwork that best represent you and your artistic abilities. There is no formula for selecting the “right” portfolio. The final decision of what you put in your portfolio is up to you! Faculty will tell you to submit your best work.

Consider the following recommendations when compiling your portfolio:

Make certain your portfolio is of the best quality possible and are an accurate representation of your strongest work overall.
Select your best overall work!
Select representative examples that depict your abilities in sculpture or in three-dimensional form. For example, include:

from the projects you have already completed in any course that deals with three-dimensional form and/or space.
of works you might have completed for two-dimensional or four-dimensional courses but which are related in some way to three-dimensional form.
that shows your ability to draw and to think spatially.
that shows the development of a concept through various works or through various media.
that demonstrates your skills in the handling of various materials.
of works that may be interdisciplinary.

Do not include more than one or two details of work in the total portfolio.
