Submission of Application Materials:
Submit the materials listed below. (For any clarifications or questions related to the submission process,
contact Chris Carson, Art Department Chair at ccarson@brockport.edu.)
1. Submit 10-15 examples of work in JPG or PDF format.
• JPEGS should be 72 dpi and no larger than 1240 pixels in any dimension and no larger
than 1MB.
• Please make sure the images are clear and files are labeled. Any images that are illegible
will not be reviewed.
• Select work that best demonstrates technical, conceptual and aesthetic proficiency.
Including some work created from observation is highly encouraged. Give yourself enough
time to properly photograph your work. Make sure digital images have excellent focus,
lighting, and are cropped to exclude unnecessary information. Good work that is poorly
documented equals unacceptable work in a review process.

submitted. For works that require an explanation, you may include a brief narrative after the
information for that particular piece.
3. Submit a well-written, grammatically correct, concise one-page statement addressing the
following points:
A. Your reasons for applying to the BFA program.
B. Your past experiences in art. How have these experiences influenced your decision
