<p>Is there any point/merit to submitting an art supplement if you aren't planning on majoring in art in college?</p>
<p>I have been doing computer generated art and art classes for years outside of school.
I don't really have any grades or awards or anything to show for it, since its mostly been on my own time, but I do probably have thousands of drawings lying around, a couple of which I am really proud of.</p>
<p>Would it be a good idea to put together a portfolio of these drawings, to show to colleges that I am actually doing something worthwhile with these art classes, or are art supplements only intended for people who are going to major in art?</p>
<p>My son prepared and submitted an art supplement of his photography, and he is not planning on majoring in art. He did it because it's a huge part of who he is and how he has spent his time during high school. He got admitted ED to Wash U.</p>
<p>Before you submit, have an objective review of your proposed items. By objective, I mean someone who is in the business and will be brutally honest. You don't want to do the "american idol" screacher thing, right? What you consider your best may be very mediocre to a trained professional's eyes. Hopefully not however. My brother is an art school instructor and he looks over portfolios all the time of aspiring applicants. There are kids who've been told their whole lives that they're artistic geniuses -- until an objective light can be cast on the work.</p>
