Arts at Chicago... Is the art program actually good?

<p>I was really into art for a while, but I kind of let it slide so I could focus wholly on science during high school. I did a lot in set design.... if anything, I'd like to focus on that. </p>

<p>I'd like to take some low-pressure art courses. Maybe starting painting again. I'm not an art all-star by any means. I'd be combining it with something else.</p>

<p>How is the art department as far as offering a variety of courses so I can explore a bit. Does anyone know if they have ceramics? What about galleries near and around campus?</p>

<p>Anyone here an art major? Opinions? Any theater people have any advice?</p>
