Your portfolio will steer the interview conversation and should demonstrate your talent and potential as a student for the BFA Wig and Makeup Design & Technology program.
The best way to put together a portfolio is to select 10 to 20 pieces from your work which demonstrate the strength, depth, and range of your theatrical/artistic abilities and exposure. The selection of pieces in you portfolio tells us a great deal about you, so thoughtfully and carefully choose those pieces you think best show your talent and potential for further development.
Wig and Makeup Design & Technology applicants should present a portfolio representing work with wigs, hair styling, and makeup. Your portfolio may also include a sample of your experience in related fields such as costume design or costume construction, though this is not required. Your portfolio should include drawings, paintings, or other evidence of your artistic abilities. Physical examples of wigs you have styled and/or makeup prosthetics you have created or altered are encouraged, along with makeup chart sheets you may have created. Photographs should be presented to augment the portfolio. We want to see your visual art abilities, your artistic creativity, and your technical skills.
