[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The package to the central office is in pdf, your work samples should be two pdf pages, there is no front and back.

My son had a multipage writting, I made a print to pdf with 4 sheet a page setting, and submitted one pdf page with four writting pages on it.  AART said that is too much and made me only submit two sheet per page.

Frankly, I think one drawing accompanying one page of writting about a subject is better.  The drawing can really show off creativity and organization than 4 pages of writting and easie to impress. [/quote]

I know people with way more than 4 sheets per page, and those are common among kids with comic strips or have award winning writings. My AART mentioned that as long as the sheets are well organized that should be ok since the committee would need to zoom in to read anyway.

Personally, I think it’s harder to have exactly 2 pages for the samples unless the kids are prompted to do so, i.e. explain on this page what you would do if you could fly? My DD just does math and writing on whatever materials available to her at the time so it can varies from papers taken out of the printer to party-favor notebook that is smaller than the palm of your hand. The story she wrote in the notebook is like 20 page long and I put it all down on 1 page because the notebook is tiny. [/quote]

Well apparently it depends on the AART.  So make sure that if you pack them in, submit your sample early to get feedback from AART.  I included one drawing and two pages of writing together so technically that's three pages but if you organize them correctly it looks good.  Just don't cram everything in if there is no space.
