BFA transfer applicants must upload a minimum of 20 images via temple.slidreoom.com
Freshman applicants may arrange for an in person review* or upload a digital portfolio temple.slidreoom.com.
The BFA Freshman portfolio should include 15 or more pieces of original work executed in the last two years. You must include at least 5 strong examples of drawing from direct observation regardless of the major you wish to pursue. These drawings must be larger than 9″ x 14″, and show a wide range of values and strong composition. These drawings are separate from sketchbook drawings. The remainder of the portfolio may include additional drawings; work in both black-and-white and color media, ceramics, design examples, fibers, glass, jewelry or metal work, paintings, photography, printmaking, sculpture, or time-based media. Variety of medium, subject matter and scale are important. Large pieces may be represented in photographs presented during an in-person review.
