The Art and Design Portfolio Review for DADAH scholarships

Applicants to the Department of Art, Design and Art History are encouraged but not required to submit a portfolio. A portfolio is required to be considered for an art scholarship, and must be uploaded through Webster's application portal. A selection of the most representative and best work should be submitted. Please include work from individual initiatives, as well as class projects. You may also include a photographic representation of three-dimensional work, as well as pages from a 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 work, and recognizes varied experiential levels. Portfolios for these talent scholarships will be reviewed and determined by the DADAH faculty.

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?

Deadline for portfolio submission for scholarship consideration is Dec. 1. Portfolios submitted after Dec. 1 will be considered as funds are available.

Art scholarships are awarded up to $2,000, and are renewable for a total of four years, or until graduation requirements are met. A student must be an art major in order to receive and keep an art scholarship.

If you have any questions about the portfolio review process, please contact Andrew Laue, at lauear@webster.edu.
