Preparing a Portfolio to Apply to OTIS
Select your best work to show off your technical skills and your creativity! The portfolio should include 10–20 examples of your best and most recent work. Your portfolio should reflect your mastery of technique and your creative ideas. Applicants to Foundation should include at least five examples of work from direct observation. Artwork can be in any medium, including the following: animation; drafting; drawing; illustration; mixed media; motion-based projects; painting; performance; sound; installation; photography; sculpture; 2-D design; 3-D design or video (maximum two-minute excerpt).
Transfer students are encouraged to submit work that is appropriate to the level for which they are applying. If the focus of your portfolio is within the realm of your intended major, also show work mirroring the Foundation year.
