exchange, exchange, exchange.

It's that time of year (once again) where I will be applying for exchange for Fall 2010 semester. I had a meeting with my advisor last week just to clarify everything that needs to be done for the application deadline Monday, February 15, 2010.

I have final narrowed down my choices to the final three schools.

1. Fashion Institute of Technology (NYC)

2. School of the Art Institute of Chicago

3. California College of the Arts (San Francisco)

Fingers crossed I will be accepted into at least one.

Now that my schools have been selected its time to edit and alter my portfolio. Since i'm only in my second semester with a concentration on fashion, somehow I have to prove my knowledge and capabilities in fashion. The remainder of my portfolio will consist of a lot of graphic design work and photography. I am hoping that my portfolio illustrates my stengths as an interdisciplinary artist through knowledge in fine art, design, photography and fashion. All these areas play a crucial role in how I approach my work today and I think that is an important aspect that should be portrayed through my collection of work.

Although I'm still going through my work and trying to select a diverse group of pieces, so far these are pieces that I think will make the final cut.

There are still some pieces that I need to document; my Split Skirt Jumper being one of them (this portfolio cannot go without a onesie included). With the deadline coming up its time to get this application together organized.

Let's get'er done!
