Portfolio

Applying to College

<p>Most of my portfolio work will be drawing but I just realized that they said the drawings must be from life or imagination.
I have self-portraits and other portraits that I have done/want to do but I've never done a portrait from life (I do have sketches and figure drawings from life though).</p>

<p>Are they understanding about this? My art teacher told me that they were worried about the composition being your own and thus a photograph would be fine if you set it up yourself. But I'm not sure anymore. I don't know what to do.</p>
