2. Concentration: Sustained investigation (8-10 pieces)
3. Breadth: 8 works showing you tried a range of approaches
• At most 23 pieces, but most portfolios will be far less because the same piece can go into multiple sections
• You may use artwork that you have done in the past• Cannot be collaborative work
2D or 3D?McNulty would prefer and encourage you to all 3D, but students must choose one or the other and the entire portfolio must be only that.
2D = quilts, fasion/costume drawings, drawings of hair/makeup, paintings, set/architecture drawings, wall art, general makeup, photography,…
3D = costumes, sets, furniture, performance art, jewelry, prosthetic and moulage makeup, hair styles, sculpture, puppets, props, 3D computer designs (sketchup/autocad), installations, reclaimed object sculpture, …
