The portfolio should contain eight pieces of art. In your portfolio, you must include the following: two drawings (mandatory) from life (not your imagination or copies of pictures); six other pieces can be from your imagination but should demonstrate your best craftsmanship; variety of work including painting, drawing, printmaking and collage; variety of subject matter such as portraits, landscapes, still-life, design, abstract work; and three-dimensional art (not mandatory). If you are currently enrolled in an art class at school, please bring work from your art class. If you are not, complete the life drawings at home.
The applicant will have a brief interview and drawing exercise to complete while waiting. Students should be prepared to discuss their reasons for wanting an advanced visual arts training at the center. Each applicant must plan to stay for the entire audition time slot. Visual Arts auditions will be held in the CFA Visual Arts Building.
