<p>What is the art department like at UVM? I noticed they don't require you to submit a portfolio for studio art with your application, which irks me.</p>
<p>I want to study art and biology (anatomy & physiology), but a good art program is more important for me.</p>
<p>nah they dont require you to submit one, but as a art major, i can tell you the program is really underrated. There are a lot of good profs which is rly important for art classes and the arts (+anthro) have there own building. you can also probably do a biology minor, since you need a minor (CAS )</p>
<p>Hi Partyhippie, thanks for the reply… just visited today and kind of crept around the Williams art building.
The painting studio there might have given me a unrealistic impression, but I mostly saw abstract blocks of color “artsy-feely” pieces.
In your experience how is the foundations there? By foundations I mean practice and accuracy in technical skill, anatomy, figure drawing from life, etc.</p>
<p>Are your professors working artists? Do they have websites with their work up?</p>
<p>What has your experience with the art scene been like in Burlington?</p>
