I don't see why it would be a problem unless she wants to go to an art school. If she's in a regular
liberal art college she would just start taking classes. They don't have to declare a major for a while
and she would have work by then. Many art schools also don't really care if she can pay the tuition, they'll take her.

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?
