Arts University Bournemouth Animation Production Portfolio+Interview help

Hi I was just wondered if anyone has any detailed information of whats needed in the portfolio. There is some information on the site, but I'm still struggling to know what to do. For example it refers to bringing multiple portfolios and sketchbooks, but at the open day I was told to bring I think about 10-15 pieces, but on the site it makes a life drawing portfolio sound like a full up book of life drawings, and i'm not sure how many to take.
Also would the research book be something like an AS or A2 art book?
Thanks!

Oh ok, I thought it takes at least 3 working days for them to respond, that might be why you haven't got an offer yet?

Yeah I got an offer today :biggrin:

Hope you hear back from them soon!

I was referring to the Animation Production course at Arts University Bournemouth, the Animation course at Bournemouth University is what has the maths, logic and life drawing test. I do have a interview for Bournemouth University, but I will probably cancel it because I already have an offer from Arts University Bournemouth and University Of Hertfordshire, and I'd rather go either of them than Bournemouth University.

Also even though I haven't been to a BU interview, when I was at the open day (plus what i've read online) said that the maths isn't much harder than GCSE, so you should be fine! :smile:

Oh ok :P I heard that the maths test isn't that much harder than GCSE. I don't know that much about the drawing test, but I think you just draw a nude model in different poses for different amounts of time to show them your life drawing skills :smile:
