I’m submitting a visual arts/drawing portfolio supplement. Problem is I don’t know what to put for my resume. I’ve only attended one art class, in the past year. I’ve won no awards (probably could, I’m pretty sure my art is good).This looks awfully short as a resume…

“• I attended the Teen Portfolio Prep class with ____ at ____ Arts Center, Pants City during fall 2008, spring 2009, and fall 2009.
Course description: ‘This course is intended to help students prepare their own distinctive portfolio suitable for college applications. Participants will work with a variety of media essential to develop a high quality portfolio; subjects of study include the human figure (nude models), portraiture, design, landscapes and still lives. Open discussion and critique will allow for further awareness and expressiveness.’”

Should I add that I self-studied my art skills?? My teacher mentions this in her rec already. Would I phrase it like “Self-study for 17 years (my age)”? I’ve been drawing “seriously” since 6th grade… would I put 6 years instead? D:

thanks for help with my resume fail!
