DADAH Portfolio Review

Applicants with the intention of pursuing a degree in Art with an Emphasis in Studio or Graphic Design must upload a portfolio of their own work through Webster's Application Portal. A selection of the most representative and "best" work should be emphasized. Include work from individual initiative, as well as class projects. In addition, you could include photographic representation of three dimensional work as well as pages from your sketchbook. We would also like you to create a drawing of a "hand tool" in any media. You can interpret "Hand Tool" any way you want. The Department of Art, Design and Art History accepts a variety of works and recognizes varied experiential levels. Portfolios will be reviewed by DADAH faculty on an ongoing basis.

Please be sure your portfolio includes the following:

• a selection of 10-20 unique artworks
• one drawing of a "hand tool"
• a written statement (150-200 words) about your artwork, including why you chose to draw the specific hand tool you did? Why is this an important tool to you and how do you use it?

If you have any questions about portfolio review, please contact lauear@webster.edu.
