| ARCHcornell: The school suggests 15-20 pieces in the portfolio. They will definetely want to see some free hand drawing. Since my son has been taking stuio art since 9th grade - he had a few from these classes that he really liked and wanted them in the portfolio. Basically, there was a variety in his portfolio - some acryllic paintings/some sketches/some charcoal drawings/some conti crayons/photography etc... He submitted close to 20 but not 20 items. I hear some people also include other items such as any woodwork etc... that they have done.
When we visited cornell during spring break, we got to see some sample portfolio of others that were admitted to the college. This really helped us to get an idea of what to submit.
Hope this helps. |
