basic drawing/visual thinking?

<p>so i wanna take art b/c that's probably gonna be one of my majors. thus i think it'd be nice to be in the section of the class that has people who are gonna eventually major in art. if anyone could help that'd be GREAT</p>

<ol>
<li>do most eventual majors take basic drawing or visual thinking (both are required for a major in art) first semester?</li>
<li>what professors that are fabulous or notorious?</li>
<li>what's the general campus attitude surrounding art classes/art majors?</li>
</ol>
