WHY NSCAD? INTERDISCIPLINARITY NSCAD students are taught not simply to rely on the art skills that they arrived with, but rather to become creative problem solvers across disciplines.

IMMERSIVE CREATIVE CULTURE Located in the heart of downtown Halifax, NSCAD immerses students in a diverse, creative environment from the minute they step onto campus. Our supportive, tight-knit community provides the opportunity to meet mentors, friends and future collaborators. 7

Downtown Halifax
OUR CITY
Halifax is a cosmopolitan hub of arts and culture nestled in the beautiful oceanic landscape of Atlantic Canada. A coastal city that feels simultaneously like an urban centre and a small town, Halifax is home to a lively creative community, many diverse neighborhoods and, of course, a lot of good old-fashioned East Coast hospitality. Halifax is also just a 15-minute drive from rugged trails, pristine lakes and forests and breathtaking beaches. Outdoor activities like surfing, sailing, swimming, hiking and mountain biking are extremely popular and convenient. With over 30,000 students enrolled in six degree-granting institutions, Halifax has one of the youngest populations in North America.

Many students specifically choose NSCAD because of the foundation year. This exploratory, interdisciplinary year equips you with the critical skills required to thrive in an art school environment. YOU’LL LEARN: The vocabulary of visual arts How to give and receive critical feedback Observational drawing Colour theory Composition 2 and 3-D design Academic writing and analytical skills Visual culture studies And that’s only the beginning.

The foundation year is intense, challenging, fun and extremely interactive. It gives you the rare opportunity to explore a wide range of ideas, processes and materials.

Design takes a distinctly collaborative, interdisciplinary and process-oriented approach. This program covers a range of services and products that fuse human factors, technology and aesthetics with a general emphasis on message presentation. You will gain a variety of skills including analytical and imaginative thinking, visualization techniques, drawing, typography, photography and an understanding of production processes.

You will create logos, information graphics, wayfinding systems, visual identity systems, book design, magazines, websites, information systems, advertisements, tools, furniture and solutions that don’t exist yet.

MAJOR IN ART HISTORY Enhanced by its setting within an art school, NSCAD’s Art History and Critical Studies division offers a Bachelor of Arts degree (BA) with a Major in Art History. The division’s courses focus on the history of Western art, craft, design, film and architecture from the 19th century to the present, but include studies of Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque art, Canadian art, North American Aboriginal art, and courses on art theory and criticism. The latter provide students with opportunities to engage in critical discourse surrounding the production and reception of art. In addition the division offers courses in Critical Studies with a focus on material culture and courses in English Literature. At the same time, students working toward a BA in Art History take studio classes in an environment that is intensely focused on art-making. 55

WHAT IS A PORTFOLIO? In the visual arts, a portfolio is primarily a visual record of your interests and explorations. It may be a collection of original pieces or a documentation of previous work in the form of photographs, photocopies or slides. At NSCAD, the Admissions Committee looks at what pieces you choose, as well as how you present them. We’re looking for work that is thoughtful, serious, mature and unique.
Portfolio Details: All undergraduate applicants must submit a digital portfolio documenting original and recent work that includes the following:
Up to 20 digital images of finished work illustrating your material skills, conceptual ideas/themes and range. Up to 20 digital images of sketchbook examples illustrating your problem solving and development of ideas, aka your process (if you have already attended a postsecondary Fine Arts school, a sketchbook is not required). The sketchbook must have been begun at least three months prior to the submission of the application. The sketchbook/journal may include sketches, plans, drawings from observation, samples of creative writing, notes/observations made in response to other works (exhibitions, museums, novels, etc.), and explorations of mark-making with varied materials. 59

10 TIPS FOR PREPARING YOUR NSCAD PORTFOLIO 1: PORTFOLIO VS SKETCHBOOK
Students who are applying directly from high school or transferring from another post-secondary institution (that is NOT a fine arts university) will have to submit both. It is important to understand the difference between the two. Sketchbook: This is your visual diary. It is where you start new ideas, develop
them, research them, and make them come alive. Whatever inspiration you have should be in this sketchbook. Everything from news articles, to magazine imagery, to poetry, rough sketches, found objects, scraps of material, blueprints‌the sky is the limit! Nothing has to be finished, polished or complete. This is an unedited look at how you come up with ideas and how you develop them. We want you to have been working on one for at least 3 months before submitting, because as you create one, you will get better and better at using one. Portfolio: These are your finished pieces. These pieces are the works that you feel best show off your fully realized concepts, your techniques, and skills. These are the pieces you want representing you in public. 2: INCLUDE OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING
Drawing is an important skill for artists and designers of all kinds. Observational drawing is one of the key elements we need to see either in your portfolio or sketchbook. This means drawing straight from the 3D world around you. (not from a 2D image). Set up a still life in your bedroom or go outside and draw from nature. 3: COME TO ONE OF OUR PORTFOLIO DAYS
It’s the perfect opportunity to get feedback from us about how your portfolio is coming along. We have both on campus and off campus portfolio days. Visit https://my.nscad.ca/events/index.do to check out our next portfolio day near you. 4: MAKE SURE THE IMAGES OF YOUR WORK DO YOU JUSTICE
We do not expect you to be a photographer if you are not, but you need to make sure images are in focus, lit evenly and framed properly.

APPLYING TO NSCAD | PORTFOLIO
5: SHOW US YOUR RANGE
Try different techniques, materials and subject matter. As an example, if you are a photographer, and only submit 20 digital portraits, we have learned nothing about your abilities past the first image. Show us variety. For example portraits, landscapes, film photos, digital photos, black and white, experimental, or conceptual. This approach should be taken with every art form. Push your skills, your materials and ideas. 6: IT’S NOT JUST THE SUM OF ITS PARTS, ITS A WHOLE
As you make your decisions on individual work to include, also be aware of the group in its entirety. Think of it like a book. The arrangement, the themes and the ideas should be in a coherent order. Start with a strong piece to catch our attention. End with a strong piece so that’s what stays with us. 7: GET OUTSIDE OPINIONS
It’s very important to have someone look at your work who is objective. You want someone who is going to be looking at and speaking to your work. Not someone influenced by their relationship with you. An art teacher is an amazing resource for this. If you aren’t currently studying art in school, try finding a mentor in your community. Visit an artist-run center near to where you live or try emailing an artist in the community and set up a coffee date. Artists are very open and supportive to mentoring. You can also contact us. We are happy to offer feedback if you have questions. 8: BE INDEPENDENT
You can include work completed in school, college or adult education classes in your portfolio, but the Admissions Committee is particularly interested in seeing work that is carried out independently of the classroom. 9: THE IDEA
We aren’t just looking at technique and skill. The purpose of your portfolio is to show us how you communicate your ideas. So use your feelings, your passions, your ideals. Discuss abstract concepts, comment on the world around you. Tackle ideas and try expressing them visually. 10: NO ANIME
Anime is a very stylized form of illustration. It is very difficult to see your style in it. And we are interested in how YOU see things, and interpret the world around you. APPLYING TO NSCAD | PORTFOLIO
