I’ve been doing art mostly as a hobby for the past 3-ish years, and I got four pieces into my regional scholastic art awards, but I’m not that great at it honestly I’m thinking about submitting a portfolio with my app and just have a few questions. 1) It says I can upload 20 pictures of my work, but if I have like 5 pieces can I just take four pictures of each? 2) If my artwork is mediocre at best, can it hurt my application? 3) Is it worth it if I don’t have many pieces?
@kiwikid18 Hopefully a more knowledgeable will chime in, but i think this is a case of how well do you know yourself? Are you truly mediocre? Or just being humble? If you are truly horrible, it could detract, but I’d think if you use your essay or princeton supplement to address how art is a part of you, and you want to show it off to princeton to help them understand who you are. And if it is just good, not great, it could help your application - showing more depth and character.
