My son’s portfolio was very diverse. In addition to the required drawings, he included quite a few of his ceramics pieces and abstract paintings. He specifically added observational work to complete his portfolio, but that was not his focus. He was told by several people in admissions to fully demonstrate his area(s) of strength, even if the work was not related to his intended major. He is currently a freshman, graphic design major - - and loving it!
