Hello all,
I wonder if any of you have dealt with this issue before: a senior student (
state scholar, high act, etc.) who is taking her first art classes in high
school this year. She is very creative, somewhat talented, a fast learner but
has little actual artwork nor experience. She is thinking that she might want
to look at art as a major in college...! How do we put together a decent
portfolio and how will it ever be able to compete with portfolios from other
kids who have done art all along? Her work is okay but is still in the early
stages. I think she is an "artist" and just discovering this. She really wants
to pursue it as an option. She is in love with artmaking.
Any advice, suggestions or ideas?
