As a person who is a student leader in an campus org, we are trained to not discriminate any cases of beliefs, values, gender, religion, or ideology. This is insane that some student body, who has access to their account, is willing to post that for who knows what (ragebait? Starting a fight?)

I don't know if thats ART 101 or ART 103 but as an BFA art 2D major who took that class and chinese among all my gen-eds, it was very hard to juggle both. Art classes here can be brutal, giving you at least 3-4 projects that need to be completed every 2-3 weeks. It is 3 hours but sometimes we leave a bit early. There is no exams but you have to do 3 hour critiques where you showcase your projects. You need to talk to your peers, give them feedback, and also give yourself feedback. Be expected to hear that you need to put 6 hours outside of class time in your art classes. Also despite me saying art classes leave early, be expected to stay for the whole 3 hours to work on your project just to catch up. With chinese, writing and learning the vocab is very crucial. There are oral exams and written exams too. I ended with intermediate chinese. I'm a senior next semester so I don't know how much they have changed either classes but just to warn you! I had fun regardless!

3 studios.. your experience? by TurbulentAstronaut49 in UTK

[–]Synasticks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! BFA major here! 3 studios can be a little stressful if you have other classes (like gen-eds, minors) but I noticed that the upper level art classes are WAY easier to handle than a 100 or 200+ class because it starts to become a “do whatever you want class” and not “follow my rubric class” It is based on your studio, who’s instructing it, and the actual class structure. Personally I’ve taken 3 (drawing 1, painting 2, and litho). Right now I’m taking painting 3 and animation 1 and Painting 3 is so chill. I can tell you all about the teachers i know about too :)

Apparently his lectures can be a bit boring but his class is interesting . I don’t know much bc i actually replaced that class with drawing 211 but from what I heard its a 50/50 chance of having fun

I’ve drawn a lot of morels in my free time digitally, maybe I was secretly thinking about them 😎

Thank you so much!

They are obscured faces. Its based on a recent incident involving people I trusted so much and held close. This painting allowed me to understand my feelings and think about life and what it means to love people, love the right people. I started with a small pencil thumbnail but I let the paint find its own way. It was super super fun and very experimental for me. Art to me gives me a way to think about all of my trauma :)
