I'm trying to take every opportunity I can to get money so that I can attend my dream college and several possibilities are talent scholarships from the college itself. I auditioned for and received a 3k music scholarship which I will no longer be able to accept so I took another look at those they offered and my mom and admissions counselor suggested I try for the art scholarship to make up for the other one. The thing is, I've never had an art class in my life.
I'll be attempting to triple major with my primary major being Psychology, my secondary self designed major (unrelated to the primary) in art focusing on photography, my tertiary major would be the college's liberal arts major (something only they have done is declare their required core classes, plus a few extra, a major).
In the last few years I've gotten involved in photography and have a (at least in my opinion) decent body of work. My mom was an artist of fairly good quality when she was younger and taught me some things so I'm not completely ignorant of many of the basics; I was telling my grandma about the primary colors when I was two for goodness sake... Being around artsy friends and being artsy myself I've always dabbled in artsy things and consider myself, while not even close to great at things like drawing and painting, at least well into the decent realm.
Anyway, to try to get the art scholarship I need to "submit a portfolio covering a range of experience". I obviously already plan to include pictures I've taken, but I'm not so sure about other media. What sort of things would I be expected to include with the professor knowing I've never had art training and that I'm going to be focusing on photography for my major? I have works that aren't photography that I would sort of like to include to show that I'm not just a one trick pony and also because as an art major I'll be expected to take art classes not related to photography. Also, what does a range of experience mean in your opinions?
Also I plan to include a few of the pictures that I've done obvious photoshopping on (like making the picture black and white and leaving the focus color). Should I include any of the pictures that I've color corrected?
