I've heard a lot of people talk about their art classes, I'm just curious how many people have actually taken one at some point.

depends on what you mean by art. after elementary school, i've taken drawing and painting I, last semester, and am taking Commercial Art I atm. I'm taking D&P II and III next year, I've already seen my schedule >:3 I haven't taken any other art classes yet, though I plan to, asap. One where I actually learn somethign would be nice :(

I took art class for three years in high school and one year in college. I was a very poor student.

I have to say yes, but they were all well over ten years ago. I've still got the chalk on black paper vegetable man I drew back in year nine hiding somewhere about the joint.

I did the standard art classes we all had until year 11 (16 years old). In the end I got an E. I don't think that counts.

Other than that, I now go to life drawing workshops every Friday, although it's not really a class par se; there's no tuition at all, just a place where there's nekkid people and artists. Does that count as a class or no?

I'm actually finishing my first art class this semester

I've always quit the other art classes 3 weeks in....

Depends what you class an art class. The last time I did Art at school was when I was 14.

Unless that kindergarten thing with the finger paints counts as an art class, I've never taken one...

It becomes obvious when you look at my comic... >.>

Elementary, Middle and High. Nothing to complicated, but I learned some stuff along the way.

I'd take some college classes, but a) The entry level classes are always full when I get to register

and b) All the non-entry level classes either have the entry-level classes as a prerequisite or are for majors only.

I can sort of understand the major thing (weed out the non-serious folk looking for an easy ride), but seriously! A prerequisite for Drawing I?

. . . Though I did take a college Art History class. Art of the Pacific Islands. I didn't like it 'cause they made me write a fifteen page paper, but otherwise it was pretty neat. We spent the entire time arguing about how Euro-centric we were being.

I won't count the ones I took in college, There was an art class when I was in school, I even took classes outside of school, for 3 months. It didn't really help.

I'm going to say no, since I only took one required one in eighth grade. our district had this policy of PICK YOUR ONE GIFT AND THAT'S ALL YOU GET TO NURTURE!!! so in high school I opted for voice lessons over art.

I wander into my school's art room after school and they let me paint and draw. I also wander into ceramic during lunch and sculpt there, but I'm not actually signed up for any classes. I beat the system without having to pay fees, haha!

Went to college. Got kicked out.
'nuff said.

I'm at an art college majoring in sequential art. Does that count?

Cope · Post by **Cope** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 7:47 pm

Most definitely not.

Up to Junior High: We had "explorations" so I had it for 9 weeks in 7th grade, and 7 in 8th grade.

Plothole · Post by **Plothole** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 8:58 pm

Took Drawing I last semester, for my degree. Also took an technical art class in High School

Lets see what else... would two Digital Imaging or a photography (traditional) class(es) count?

Col · Post by **Col** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 9:12 pm

Took art all through elementary and junior high. Took every single one of the art classes offered in high school (I had three different art classes all through senior year), and I got my BFA in painting at Illinois Wesleyan University. Every semester for those four years, I had at least two art classes out of four, and senior year I had only art the entire time.

So yeah, I took a few.

Faub · Post by **Faub** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 9:24 pm

I have a degree in fine arts. 8) So... umm... yeah.

I hope one day to take the "Elementary Basic Fundamentals Beginning course for Dummies 1-A" next semester. Go me.

Besides that, nothing except crappy pottery classes in middle school.
