BigMike... are you an artist???? Just wondering.
I did send in two art supps. First and foremost, Verdricity, in judging you work examine the technique. Are brushstrokes (if you paint) even? In other words, does it look like the art of a novice or someone with quiet of few years of experience?
Second, does it show promise? When compiling your portfolio try to show work from over the years, not just from this year/recently. Submit works that show your improvement.
Once you've examined your technique, take a stab at attempting/showcasing a myriad of different styles. A true, learning artist doesn't just do one thing. If you were an established artist then you could stick to one style. But an artist that is still learning explores various styles. However, this doesn't mean you lose yourself. Try to put a little bit of whatever your signature might be into every piece. Make sure you present pieces that are distinctly YOURS!
After all that, it comes down to what the art department at Stanford thinks. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
If you accomplish the first two, then the third is just a crap shoot. You can just sit back and cross your fingers and hope that they understand your intent with each piece.
