I really would like some advice from fellow artists, portfolio examiners and students who have experience in this art portfolio area.
I am in highschool now and in my last year, i am taking Higher Art (Art A-Level Equivalent) in 6th year of school.
I think that im in a bad situation to put together a portfolio for Art/Design School.
Important question:
How much time in general does it take to put together a good portfolio from scratch??

My choices to get into art school::

Try and put together a portfolio for applying to art school once the new semester starts..this on top of my Higher Art and 3 other subjects. Put porfolio together within about 6months ( including all the school work i have) and apply in Feb/March after starting school in August.
or
Go through 6th year and do a few art pieces as to my liking and then after i leave school, go to a college take a year or half a year out to specifically make a portfolio.

Im really lost and would like advice and help.

Im currently taking antidepressant medication for an anxiety disorder, and I am planning to become a pilot next year. I know that I am not allowed to take it but I spoke to my doctor and he said that hes gonna keep it of my medical record. So would there still be a chance that the college or aviation medical examiner can find out? like by taking tests or something?

Bullet holes in Pat Tillman raised suspicions about his death, documents show
The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO | Army medical examiners were suspicious about the close proximity of the three bullet holes in Pat Tillman’s forehead, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

The examiners tried without success to get authorities to investigate whether the former NFL player’s death in Afghanistan amounted to a crime, the documents show.

“The medical evidence did not match up with the scenario as described,” a doctor who examined Tillman’s body after he was killed on the battlefield in Afghanistan in 2004 told investigators.
The doctors — whose names were blacked out — said the bullet holes were so close together it appeared the Army Ranger was cut down by an M-16 fired from a mere 10 yards or so away

according to yahoo news (above), they found steroids in Benoit, but according to the state top medical examiner (fourth paragraph) the steroids did not play a part in the murder.

“…and nothing to show that steroids played a role in the death of Nancy and Daniel Benoit.”

I really don’t know, but what do you make of it?

Naturally, Longhaired…………..you have completely mischaracterized Savage’s comment according to your own link.

http://www.examiner.com/a-872440~S_F__supes_extend_helping_hand_to_immigrants.html

The quote was in reference to students fasting for changes in immigrant policy not immigrants..
Savage said, “I would say, let them fast until they starve to death, then that solves the problem.” You evidently wouldn’t know the truth if you ran into it.
P.S. If you want to know what talk radio hosts really say you’ve got to listen to them yourself. The left certainly isn’t going to tell the truth about them.
The point is, Longhaired lied.
Sorry Longhaired, your link doesn’t say immigrant students it just says students. You’re making it up.
