<p>If you can’t find a residential program, if she’s driven, she could assemble her own program of study. That’s got to sound good to a college. If she was a year older she could incorporate travel further afield on her own.</p>
<p>I liked the portrait/ self-portrait (?) in colored pencil. However, no one can study too much life/still life drawing then painting. Even just things around the house, friends, the town. </p>
<p>She can spend time arranging to visit/talk with local artists and crafts people. Let her experiment with different media- inks, oil sticks, pens, guache and also other arts and crafts- origami, clay modelling, paper engineering, book illustration, photography, making an artist’s book, printing. And visiting exhibitions of course. Let her fun and play and explore in her own way and see what happens. </p>
<p>She could frame it all within a project on a theme and see where it takes her. That would produce interesting sketch books for portfolio review. </p>
<p>However, she’s only 15 and needs to enjoy her other passions and interests e.g friends, cinema, literature, music, fashion or she’ll get worn out working all the time without any new inspiration being allowed in.</p>
