Qualifications The curriculum at the San Francisco Studio School suggests that all students may not be accomplished in all areas of study. Photography students have often been separated from the related visual arts and painting students often lack a meaningful encounter with photography. In addition drawing may have been taught by rote, convention or not at all. For those reasons the procedure for applying to the school is a highly individual one. If a student is intrigued by the school's philosophy and program and is willing to commit to serious study, he or she is encouraged to inquire further or apply without undue concern over the completeness or appropriateness of his or her portfolio in all areas of the curriculum. Admissions Procedure Prospective students for both the Full Time and Associate Study programs can submit the following materials via mail or email: Application - Downloadable PDF A resume or CV A concise one-page statement of intent regarding your interest in study at the school including brief background information. Examples of work, which may take the form of 15 to 20 35mm slides, CD-ROM containing image files no larger than 300KB each, or website. If you would like the materials returned, please include a suitable return envelope with sufficient return postage. Please Note: SFSS is not responsible for loss or damage of application materials but every effort is made to handle portfolios with care. Two letters of recommendation from references relevant to the area of study, whether a teacher, artist or employer. A non-refundable application fee of $60.
