Your portfolio should contain 15–20 images of your work, to include evidence of ideas in any format, for example: paintings, drawings, sculpture, site-specific artwork, links to audio works, stills and/or links to video work, performance, sketchbooks. It is useful to include images showing how you generate and develop ideas, and how you are passionate and inquisitive about the subject.
Along with your portfolio please also include a 500-word Research Plan. This is a provisional plan and if accepted, you would have the opportunity to develop and change this by agreement with your tutors.
A research plan should include the following:
- detail about your interests as an artist,
- a description of what the work will involve
- how you would start your research for the work
- possible technical requirements
- include a short bibliography
- include a timeline of what you plan to achieve on the course over the year (or two years if intending to study part time)
- any other information that you think is relevant.
