No, but we would like to get to know you better! In the Pre-College Art & Design Intensive Experience application, we have a field for you to upload something that inspires your creativity. The file can be an image, a painting, sculpture, a design, a fashion collection, cars, motorcycles, architecture, interior design, or text – whatever will help us understand where your interests lie.
