Notes about portfolio review

Stan emailed this info to me about the upcoming portfolio review:

It's a good idea to just get them to put in their very best work from each class...if they need to rework anything they can do so for sure. I figure about 5 pieces from each class....plus if they want to show any animations they can burn a disc (make sure it works) and we'll have a DVD player in the review. Students can also put in their 3D packages if they want. Some have put them in boxes in the past to protect them or they can shoot photos of them instead. They can put most anything in the review, but only if they feel it's good. Don't let them edit too much out or else it will work against them. Must be representational of their 3 classes....they can also include some other work from photography or printmaking, etc. They should remember they are applying for GrD and keep the work focused on that.

Encourage them to have their names on the back of everything. To have their work in a portfolio or box of some kind...doesn't have to be expensive. Mostly for organization purposes.

They should know who is selected by Friday May 8th. I'll send out an email to everyone instructing students what to do about registration and all. Some students wondered if they should go ahead and register for other classes should they not get into the program. It wouldn't hurt to do so I guess and then they can always drop.
