DD is just beginning her college exploration, and has an interest in both science and “realistic” art (think Michaelangelo). This type of art is not always taught - many programs are more experimental in focus. Can anyone comment on the art program here, and whether a student like this would be excited working with the current faculty? (Bonus points for any specific professor recommendations!) Believe it or not, figure drawing, realistic portraits, etc are not a current focus at many schools - kind of out of fashion. Thanks so much!!!
You might have her email a prof or two: https://www.amherst.edu/academiclife/departments/art
Thanks, OH, that’s next week’s project!
