Hi On topic!:rolleyes: ,.. does anyone know the portfolio requirements for entry into First year?
Can't find any links on their website. do they have anything specific like NCAD do?
Thanks

A successful portfolio should contain work from the Art class situation, directed by the Art Teacher as well as self initiated work. Drawing and Painting from observation including, still-life, landscape, mechanical & organic forms; Design and Pattern Work including: preparatory work for any craftwork, life drawing and painting; 3D work, i.e. pottery, sculpture, dressmaking, knitting, weaving, woodwork, metalwork, etc.; Photography; Sketchbooks and Notebooks.

Any 2D/3D work you have completed should be presented at the assessment. If there are transport difficulties with very large work, photographs/ slides/preparatory related to this work should be presented. Consider the work to be more “Sheets of Information” rather than finished pictures. Attempt to use the page in a different way. Use the page to make a series:

of studies from a source – the source; may be an object, a room, a garage, a shed, etc.;

of objects: furniture, bikes, tools, utensils, etc.;

of explorations of your source;

of preparatory investigations.

There could be one or more images on the page, if you are doing a drawing on the page in which you are attempting to examine the structure of a plant, show how the stalks bend this way and that; how the leaves are attached to the stalks; how the petals fit together around the seed head etc. Instead of making one drawing of the whole plant, it would be much more interesting to make each of the investigations mentioned above, the subject of a separate drawing – but all on the same page.

You must also include a Sketchbook or Visual Journal of Visual Information that you have recorded from observation, i.e. your immediate home environment – your garden, shed, etc.

Hurray for LSAD....I frequented the place back in the late 90s. A cool vibe gotta say, a lotta crazy cats with pretty mad outlooks on life. Right up my alley. A far cry from LIT, where I studied later....which seems to be brimful of Paris Hilton wannabes and Boyband lookalikes in GAA shirts. The contrast is alarming.
