The more you know about a sport, a landscape, it’s going to come out. You’re studying it, focusing on it, you’re learning how a body is going to move, what time the sun will set, and how the clouds will come into play.

The admission process includes submission of a portfolio of images of recent work for review by the art faculty. The purpose of the review is to assess artistic potential, to approve admission to the department, and to award departmental scholarships. Please understand that an impressive portfolio is a goal to be achieved during study, not a prerequisite for entrance.
