PLEASE HELP! Advice on VIS1 (Ortiz) or TDPW (Shank)

<p>Hello everybody.</p>

<p>I am having trouble deciding whether I should take VIS1 (Introduction to Art Making: 2D Practices) or TDPW (Introduction to Playwriting). I am taking it to fulfill my GE requirements and am planning to take either course for P/NP.</p>

<p>I'm concerned about taking VIS1 because I am not all that great at art. However, I do want to learn more about art, which is why I want to take this class. I am mediocre at best, seriously. Would I still be able to pass this class? How much time does it generally take? Are the projects hard?</p>

<p>Any information at all on TDPW? Would it be easy to pass? What is the time commitment per week?</p>

<p>Any information you want to add that might influence my decision? I read the reviews on ratemyprofessors.com and Shank doesn't have any reviews, but the ones for Ortiz basically are all bad because his lectures are boring? And the grades depend on the TA supposedly...</p>

<p>Thanks a billion to anyone that actually takes the time to answer! You would be my savior and hero for life. :)</p>
