any advice for the written assessment? haven't got a notion what to do
Try not to get too bogged down about the assignment!
For the first question, I chose Vik Muniz. I chose him because I love portraiture and the last two pages in my portfolio where self-portraits, so I think it's good to show a link between the chosen artist and the work you have done (shows how inspiring they can be!) and just explain why their work has become popular worldwide (for Vik Muniz's portraits using rubbish, I linked how it became so important because of how environmentally conscious the world has become). It seems daunting at first, but it's not that hard!
The second question shouldn't be too hard, as long as you know which piece is your strongest and why. Try picking a piece that shows that you can think outside the box. Your strongest piece would be the sheet which you love looking at the most. If your strongest piece is done in a medium which you were not very familiar with, even better! It shows that you can easily pick up on new techniques! I can't really help you any further with this one, since I don't actually know what your strongest piece is and what it looks like! :P
The last question is probably the easiest to do. Make a list of everything that comes to your head when you ask yourself "Why do I want to go to LSAD?" and pick out the best points to include in your answer. Try and mention what you think makes LSAD stand out from all the other art colleges. Maybe even do a bit of research and find out who the graduated students are and where LSAD has taken them now and how that encourages you to become someone like that (for example, the fashion graduate who now designs clothes for Lady Gaga, I forget her name!) Then onto the qualities you can bring to the college. Maybe mentioned how focused you are with your work, and if you are in sixth year and applying, mention how you have the ability to focus on multiple things all at one time and how you can complete them within a certain time period (time management skills). You could also mention what unique artistic abilities you can bring to LSAD (for example, the ability to work well with multiple different materials and media on the same piece of art).
It's best to get help from a few people if your stuck. Try and get your art teacher, your tutor in your PLC course, friends who are in LSAD or even in other art colleges. They can be very beneficial to you!
And I got my letter back 2 days after I handed in my portfolio and I got 513 out of 600 points! I was so shocked, I am absolutely delighted with myself! 0 -

I got my letter, I'm on the waiting list but I only have 413 points so I'm probably at the bottom
It's better than a no anyway, but I just don't like not knowing for definite where I'm going for booking accommodation, or even if I'm going to college this year
How did everyone else get on?0 -

That's unfair they judge on artistic talent, what u just said sounded like a bitter comment from someone who got rejected0 -

Hey, I am planning on applying to the NCAD for Sept 2013, I'm just wondering, how many sketchbooks would I need to include? And what is the average portfolio score that would get you a place? Thanks
I did the portfolio brief for this year and I think it's a max. of 3 sketch books. They're really only interested in things related to the brief, like your ideas and plans for things. Some people try to put in other work into the NCAD portfolio but you won't get points for that.
Not sure about the portfolio score, I think it might change a bit every year. The pass mark is around 400 I think.0 -

I know NCAD isn't the end of the world, but my area is not Painting, it's Fashion Design, and there's only a very limited amount of courses that revolve around Fashion Design, so if one of them is ruled out from the begining, especially one that has as much merit and as good of a reputation as it has, ofc i'm not going to feel okay about it... especially if it's the one college I was hoping to get into. I just would really like someone, if they can to please let me know, if the comments on page 4 or 5 or something, were generalizations or in some shape or form incorrect. Really don't need to be stressing about another thing right now...
Thanks for your reply though, greatly appreciated 0 -

To be honest, you should be able to do the brief on your own. That's the point of it.
I did the NCAD brief during 6th year and I liked that way of doing a portfolio but I can see why a portfolio course wouldn't focus on it. It's only one college out of a lot. I want to do fashion design too and wanted to go to NCAD but now I'd prefer to get Limerick.
You could always just take a year out and do the NCAD portfolio on your own.0 -
