Submitting Portfolios as a High School Senior (please help!)

Alright, here’s a sarcastic blog post based on the provided text, stripped down to the most likely scenario:

Hi everybody! I’m a current high school senior who’s gone through a 3-year long “pathway” my high school has that taught me a lot about spatial visualization and hand drafting. I have a portfolio of classwork with isometric + orthographic views of several spaces done on paper, section views, and a piece submitted to the AIA HSDC done digitally that was awarded Honorable Mention.

I’m not sure how to turn my portfolio around in less than a month. I’ve been thinking about making painted cardboard models or something to add some 3D aspects to my otherwise entirely 2D portfolio. **Do you guys have any advice on what I could add to show creativity/variation?** I feel like my portfolio shows a lot of technical skill but not a lot of creativity, but I don’t know how to turn my portfolio around in less than a month. (I haven’t taken any arts classes (besides theatre) so I have no art class freebies I could add to demonstrate creativity.)

If you’re interested in looking at my portfolio as it stands, feel free to let me know!

When showing my portfolio on National Portfolio Day, my dream school (Drexel U) said my portfolio lacked color and variation. I really don’t have time to revamp my ENTIRE portfolio, but I’m considering making painted cardboard models or something to add some 3D aspects to my otherwise entirely 2D portfolio. **Do you guys have any advice on what I could add to show creativity/variation?** I feel like my portfolio shows a lot of technical skill but not a lot of creativity, but I don’t know how to turn my portfolio around in less than a month.
