Is art considered an extracurricular activity?

Hey guys! I enjoy painting and drawing at home, but I'm not involved in any formal art classes or clubs. Can I still consider this an extracurricular activity on my college applications? Thanks in advance!

Hi there! Absolutely, painting and drawing at home can definitely be considered an extracurricular activity on your college applications, even if you're not part of any formal art classes or clubs. Colleges are interested in learning about your passions and how you spend your time outside of the classroom, so don't hesitate to include your artistic hobbies as a part of your application.

It might be helpful to showcase your artwork in a portfolio, if possible, or mention any specific achievements or progress you've made over time. This will help demonstrate your dedication to the art form and can also showcase your skills and creativity.

Best of luck with your college applications and keep pursuing your passion for art!
