Can the portfolio be from HS classes or does she have to take separate classes elsewhere?

These days a lot of the portfolios are on thumb drives! But I think you still need one of those big black things with some samples of your work, also.
What do art/design schools look for?
My daughter excels in art/design/tv production in school. Does pretty welll in math.
From her grades and her likes, it seems like this is the route she should take when looking into colleges.
I sort of did a 180 to end up pursuing a career in the arts, never took an art class in high school although I was always interested in it, my parents pushed me more academically. As soon as I took my first design class in college I knew I should have listened to my heart and started studying art sooner. I have always wanted to not do that to my kid. But, her grades are all over the place even though she is very bright. I at least want to make sure if she chooses to go to an art school that she is doing what she needs to do now. I know she should talk to her guidance counselors at school but I figured I would do a little research first.
