Art Degrees Online

Illustration is the melting pot of the visual arts. In the last 20 years, the lines between illustration, graphic design, and fine art have blurred significantly. New media, expanded applications, and a more sophisticated popular culture make this a very exciting field.

Students majoring in illustration at AAC have many opportunities to incorporate design, digital media, painting, print media, drawing, 3-D arts, and/ or photography, creating a body of work that reflects their personal vision. AAC’s program requires a rigorous studio thesis and professional-practice experience both inside and outside the classroom. Students who graduate with a major in illustration can compete for work in such industries as book and magazine publishing, video games, packaging, corporate branding, retail merchandising, motion graphics, advertising, social advocacy, and entertainment.

TRVM 1406 – 2435

A portfolio of current work is required. Applicants who fail to submit a portfolio as outlined here will not be considered. The portfolio should represent your program interest and direction, your aesthetic sensibility, and what you believe to be your strongest work. A significant number of the images should represent work done within the last 12 months.

An artist’s statement is required of all applicants and is a significant element in the portfolio review process. As such, the statement should address your influences, interests and current direction, including your reasons for wanting to study at CalArts. List your name and the program to which you are applying at the top of the statement.

Portfolios can be submitted online or mailed to CalArts. Only one submission method (mailing or uploading) may be used.

Online Portfolio Submissions

We recommend using the online portfolio system to upload your portfolio with digital files. The system allows you to create a corresponding inventory of works, listing for each image the following information: title, date, medium, dimensions and notes. It is also possible to upload video works.

Please go to the online portfolio submission site at www.calarts.slideroom.com to submit your work. Once your portfolio is uploaded, it can be viewed and rearranged until the final submission is made. No changes can be made following the final submission of your portfolio. Be sure to submit your portfolio to the correct degree level and program. If you experience technical difficulties while uploading your portfolio, you may send an e-mail to help@slideroom.com for technical support.

Mailing Portfolio Submissions

Label each portfolio piece with your name and the program to which you are applying (first and last names and, for example, the BFA Program in Graphic Design). Include a printed slide list or inventory of works in chronological order, including title, date, medium and dimensions. Notes briefly describing the idea or function of the work may be included. Please include a completed Portfolio Information Form with each mailed portfolio package. Address your portfolio to the Office of Admissions at CalArts using the attached printable Portfolio Mailing Label. Do not send your portfolio directly to the School of Art. Doing so will cause a delay in the review of your work.

Digital Portfolios

All submissions must be on a CD or DVD that is Macintosh-readable. We recommend including a duplicate disk or printed examples of your work for backup. Approximately 20 still images may be submitted and should be sorted in chronological order, ending with the most recent work. All 20 images must be placed in a folder named with this convention: LastnameFirstname. Please number your images to correspond with your printed image inventory.

Since they will be viewed at 1024 x 768 resolution on a large projection screen, your formatted images should be sized to approximately 1024 x 768 pixels, with a resolution of about 72 dpi. Do not format images in Photoshop, or Flash, or include composite images (more than one item or picture per file). Files may be sent in tiff or jpeg formats, or in the following presentation formats: PowerPoint, Keynote, QuickTime or PDF. All Web sites should be submitted as PDF; do not merely supply us with a URL. Instructions for viewing digital presentations should be self-explanatory. Technical difficulties will be considered as incomplete presentations.

Video/Film

Running time for video material should be no longer than 10 minutes, regardless of the amount of pieces submitted. Send time-based works, film and/or video on DVD, VHS or Mini-DV. Label each video with your name, number of pieces on the DVD or cassette, and the title, date and running time of each piece. Include this information on a printed inventory of works, along with your priority for viewing. VHS tapes should be cued appropriately, if applicable. We do not accept work on film or Hi-8 tapes.

Slides

Send slides in a round pre-loaded Kodak carousel slide tray. Universal Ektagraphic or Transvue 80 Chargeur is preferred, and can easily be found for purchase on the Internet if not available locally. Submit professional quality color slides (35mm only), sorted in chronological order ending with the most recent. Mark directly on the front of each slide your name and the slide number. Do not use adhesive labels. Once slides are oriented correctly in the carousel (image should be upside down and backwards), indicate the top right of each slide with an arrow or dot. The dot will be visible near the outer rim of the carousel. Be sure to preview your carousel before sending it. Slides in slide sheets will not be reviewed.

Course content
Students will create appropriately contextualised, new photographic work. The programme of studies will support them in acquiring relevant knowledge, understanding and skills via a learning agreement. Lectures and seminars will consider photographic practices in terms of image, culture and technology. Students can work with other MA study programmes, such as Graphic Design, Fashion or Fine Art, when it benefits their individual projects.

Whether working as an applied or fine artist, the successful photographer is one who can find the most appropriate blend of a developed aesthetic and the science and technology of image-making to produce a legible personal statement. The Photography Program at Marywood offers a strong foundation in the technical skills required of the photographer. Traditional media are stressed, while developments in digital imaging are embraced. Fluency in the medium is enriched and expanded by the study of aesthetics and art/photographic history, as well as through class discussions and critiques, which emphasize the development of the voice of the individual as artist. The relationship of photography to other disciplines, such as illustration and graphic design, is explored in projects involving both areas of study. Marywood’s flexible program is designed to meet the individual needs of the aspiring photographic professional.
