PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENTS

Portfolio Requirements

In the interest of tracking your developing art skills while at MVNU, we require that you submit a portfolio of your best high school art projects for assessment to the Art Department. We are eager to see your work and dedicated to helping you grow and develop as an artist.

Please understand that you are already accepted into the art program and and that your portfolio will be used to assess the MVNU art program. Your portfolio will give us a starting point from which to compare your portfolio at the end of your sophomore year.

Your portfolio may be submitted in actual work or on CD (digital). Please drop off your portfolio at the Visual Art Center on Sept 4, 2009 between 9-10 a.m. or postmark your submission by September 1, 2009.

Please send to: Jim Hendrickx, Mount Vernon Nazarene University, 800 Martinsburg Rd, Mount Vernon, OH 43050.

FRESHMAN PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENTS:

Include a minimum of two examples of each from the following categories for assessment:
  • DRAWING (From life, not from photographs. Include a self-portrait).
  • COLOR (Any graphic image that you feel represents your best color usage).
  • DESIGN (Any graphic image that you feel represents your best design example).
  • SCULPTURE OR THREE-DIMENSIONAL (This could be ceramics).
You will also be evaluated on your level of creativity and concepts.
Please indicate whether ideas originated with you or someone else.

Submit your portfolio online.

If you have questions, please contact Art Department Chair Jim Hendrickx at
