4.1 The Selected Works

5 works

The Selected Works are 5 pieces that best demonstrate your skill and synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas — often (but not required to be) your strongest finished forms.

Skill and synthesis

This section is scored on how well the works show 3-D skills and the synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas working together.

Images from multiple views

Selected Works are shown through images — for 3-D, use views that fully convey each form, with brief written information about materials, processes, and ideas.
