Same for me; I interviewed with two old white dudes (i'm not one) who weren't painters (i am one) who were super unfamiliar with my work, and it was kinda like they had never seen abstract ptgs before.. they kept asking how sculptors and photographers were supposed to look at / talk about the work.
i showed them some pics i snapped of my sculptures on my phone and the sculptor asked, "Why didn't you apply with these?" ---BECAUSE i thought i was applying to a painting program! i feel like they shouldn't make you apply to a specific discipline if ultimately that will damage your interview.
Hey there,
I'm a Hunter painting interview person and i don't know for SURE about this year, but my partner interviewed there for painting a few years ago and they were asked to bring printouts of 6 paintings.
Hey People who have Hunter Painting interviews:
Have any of you gotten a second email with your interview time & details? I got the first email and it said to expect a second, but it hasn't come for me yet.
regarding columbia painting,
i found out last night that two previous mfa painters who had to take breaks for medical reasons (one had a baby, one had a brain thing) are restarting in the fall, which means they're taking two less than usual. : /
it's a small number.
i'm pretty sure it's the 28th, but i don't know officially either.
for the last couple of years they've sent out the emails to people i know at ~2am so every night before bed i try not to freak out! eep.
