<p>I have put on my applications that one of my hobbies is painting... this is a genuine interest, but i do not plan on studying art in college. I am wondering whether it would be a good idea to send pictures of some of paintings as like... proof that i really do it. Do you think i should send it in, or is it irrelevant because i definitely trying to show my interest in the field i want to pursue for my career?</p>
<p>Do not send it as proof; colleges trust you. If you would like to showcase your talent, and if you have talent, you can send slides.</p>
<p>it's fine not showing proof.</p>
<p>I'm writing singing as mine as I take lessons but i'm not in choir or anything.</p>
<p>It's fine.</p>
<p>But do you think it helps me in any way if they like my paintings even though i am not interested in being a professional painter or anything?</p>
<p>it could if its high quality- cornell says to send in music supplements if you are exceptional, even if you do not want to be a music major. if they like it, it can be proof that you have committed yourself to a long term goal and have a specific talent. if they dislike it, it could show that painting is more a hobby to you than a talent</p>
<p>send one along with your stuff... any more is a burden on them and decreases your odds.</p>
<p>was painting your number one activity or just in there.</p>
<p>if you listed it as number one or wrote an essay on it I suggest sending it to them</p>
