Who do I ask for letters of recommendation?

I'm a little confused on what I need to do in order to get letters of recommendation. How should I go about asking someone if they are willing to write a letter for me? Also, should I pick teachers from main subjects like math or English or can I ask my art and drama teachers? #art #writing

What are colleges and employers looking for in art portfolios?

I'm putting together an art portfolio to apply for college animation programs, and I'm wondering what I can do to make mine stand out and improve its overall quality. Also, does it matter what order you present your work in? Thanks! #art #design

How can I decide what I specifically want from my major?

For example, my major is going to be biology, but I can't decide whether I want my focus to be genetics, ecology, or environmental sciences. What are any tips to decide which would be best fitted for me? #college-major
