Art portfolio

Visual arts supplements may come from any genre or medium, but students should be aware that Pomona offers courses only the following disciplines: Drawing, Painting, Digital Art & Electronic Media, Sculpture, and Photography & Digital Imaging.

• Materials must be submitted electronically through the website Slideroom. 
• Please follow the instructions within Slideroom on submission of materials.
• Please be sure that your supplement is complete before submitting, as you cannot make changes after submission.

A complete Visual Arts Supplement contains both: 

1. A PDF résumé or list summarizing experience with visual arts. You may also list any honors and awards won, or special training received outside of your high school or college setting. You may also scan and upload related letters of recommendation here.

Faculty reviewers generally give more attention to supplements that include more than simply a survey of high school art assignments. Self-directed projects that demonstrate dedication and vision are preferred over, or in addition to, a disparate group of assignments.
