Hello,
I’m a first year student who is in constant deliberation with myself about his major(s). One thing I definitely want to study in further years is art, yet I have little experience with it on a high school level and only draw in my spare time! Yet, my mind-nay, my spirit-grumbles and yearns to release its creativity, break its confines from this putrid colourless study of whatever the hell I take now because I surely don’t know or care anymore (it’s history and I hate it). What I’m asking I guess is whether it would be tough to take VIS120 and VIS130 without any formal teaching other than by self with the aid of books? Or is it merely recommended? If so, how hard are these courses to an inexperienced chap?
Sincerely,
GODDAMNITSETMEFREE

Top 5 ‘Set Me Free’ songs (or possibly the only 5)
Set Me Free – The Kinks
Set Me Free – Velvet Revolver
Set Me Free – Xavier Rudd & Izintaba
Set Me Free – Patti Smith
I Want to Get Away – Lenny Kravitz (close enough)
Alright, keep in mind when reading this, that I have not taken this course (but seriosuly considered it). Anywho, I think if they expected you to have previous art experience an entry portfolio would be required. Looking at the course calendar, they don’t even recommend previous expereince.
Personally I think that if you have the creative urge in you, that you should do something with it or you will go crazy sitting lecture halls for eight months.
Both of those classes are relatively hard to get into. So when choosing your courses this summer, I would just make sure?that you make them your first choices.
Don’t worry about not having formal training, this could be the start you’ve been looking for.
Yes, I will pose for your first portait (not naked, ew)
