<p>Anyone taken this course? I can't draw at all, but this was the only course for Scholars that I could fit into my schedule, and I'm worried.</p>
<p>Pick-a-prof shows 46% A's and 44% B's. I wanted to take the class first semester becuawe I'm an art minor - but my major wouldn't let me sign up for more than 16 credits. I do know they use live nude models - although I've studied art foreever starting at maryland institute since I was 8 - I haven't encountered the nude bit yet - so was gonna be "different". Class has a 7% drop rate. Who is the instructor in your section?</p>
<p>I'm in the Scholars section (ARTT 110S - 0601) with Lacombe.</p>
<p>ah - looks like lacombe taught it for the first time in the spring - there are no reviews nor specific grade history on him/her yet -- which scholars program are you in?</p>
<p>Dan Gavin has a great set of reviews and there's a seat open in her MW 9-11:30 class - u might get a better reception there.</p>
<p>Or how about Psych100S - intro psych with Murnane - he has a great rep and its supposed to be a really good class</p>
<p>I'm in the Arts Scholars program, so do I need to be in a scholars section? Lacombe is the only teacher for the scholars section.</p>
<p>I dont know if you really need to be in a scholars section - do you have an advisor you connected with at orientation that you could ask? Don't say anything about liking one prof better than another - they freak out about that - but you could say it fits your schedule better (if thats true) and ask if it makes a diff.</p>
<p>Do you have a performing arts background - are perf arts and visual arts in the same scholars prog?</p>
<p>I'm a music education major and I'm planning to switch to piano performance after the first semester. There is only one Arts scholars program, for both performing and visual arts.</p>
<p>oh well - the mudnane class is restricte to media self and society scholars - did you get an email from someone after orientation that recapped the registration advising? perhaps e-mail that person and pose the question as a scheduling issue and see what they say</p>
<p>well, I emailed the scholars person, and he said that you don't need to be in a scholars section. but i'm actually still thinking of taking the course, because i think since it's an introductory course, they would teach you how to draw and not just expect you to be good at it already...what would you recommend?</p>
<p>(1) chances are the scholars section will have more experienced visual arts majors - if you're insecure about developing your talent that could bother you and (2) Dawn Gavin has really great reviews and decent grade history - and her class will prob have more of a mizture of people </p>
<p>If it was my choice and I could fit her into my schedule and she still has seats open - I'd switch sections and give it my best shot! Maybe you have great undiscovered talents lurking - visual art is as much inspiration and creativity as it is getting your vision onto paper/canvas/etc</p>
