14 CLAYESMORE | SCHOLARSHIPS & AWARDS ART SCHOLARSHIPS Candidates are assessed by interview at Clayesmore. They will also be asked to take a multiple-choice test of reading comprehension. Students should bring two things to the interview: a) a personal drawing book containing linked images and ideas, first hand drawings, scrapbook items, notes and jottings etc. This is most important and should convey the impression of a person who thinks visually and enjoys drawing. b) a portfolio of selected paintings and drawings and/or work in three dimensions should also be produced for assessment. At least two different topics should be represented. The candidate will be expected to discuss his or her work at the interview. A practical assessment will be held during the day. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate a serious commitment to creative activities in a general sense, while showing particular interest in a specific area of two or three dimensional activity. While a well-developed range of drawing skills is desirable, a too-precocious ability in this area can be a limitation at this age. Therefore, an intelligent enthusiasm, coupled with an excitement in the creative processes generally, will be looked for in examples of work and at interview. 15 CLAYESMORE | SCHOLARSHIPS & AWARDS
