Art Classes

[hynfaeries0]

How many people here have taken art classes or are currently still taking them?

I'm just wondering. XD I do. XD

[z o n e.]

I took "Art" in 8th grade, but all it was was grid drawings. Waste of an hour a day for like half a year. So I voted No, because I dont think it even qualifies.

Next year Im going to take art. Im hoping it will be better.

[Hootnnuts]

umm in 5th grade. everyone did xD

and the poll makes no sense... have you taken art classes? i used to? isnt that what its asking? shouldnt the question be do u take art classes?

[mw.Kris]

Yes, i am currently taking art classes in my school and i am enjoying the experience, knowing about photoshop does actually help you when it comes to paintings. I love art, as do i love digital art. Art is great!!! :)

The art teachers I've had are crazy. Heck, last year, I passed the class and I didn't do a single thing at all. I mean NOTHING. Thats how organized she was.

Even tho my fellow peers wern't exactly helping out in that aspect :lol:

I've done life drawing before. Which was an...experience?
In September I'll be taking a full-time course in digital art and animation.

[murch]

ive taken multimedia classes, a very basic digital arts class, and ive taken design, those are the only 2 art classes ive taken in high school, and everyone took art earlier in life......

[hynfaeries0]

oooh that sounds cool. you actually have digital art at your high school? XD

[M4x]

Never took art classes =/

[hynfaeries0]

aww really? it's really fun. :( you really should. it's so cool.

Yeh, Ive taken GCSE Art. Tbh, not really sure I should've, not because I dont like art or Im no good at it, just because everything has rules and restrictions, and during marking, its all down to one guy (the teacher) and in my and many other peoples' opinions, there is a lot of mixed up marking going on.

Overall, just not too sure how much I'll get out of it :/

[hynfaeries0]

I don't understand what do you mean by marking?

[BuGzY]

You know, for school or whatever? Getting a grade? Not sure what 'level' of art class were talking about, but schoolwork and projects get marked, and given grades (A*, A, B, C, D, E, F)

[hynfaeries0]

oh. marking is grades. XD we just call it grades or grading. XD

and is A* like A+?

I seriously don't like it when people grade art....

[BuGzY]

Yeh, just doesnt seem right, cause everyone is gonna have different opinions.

And yeh, A* is most likey equivalent to A+

[hynfaeries0]

I mean seriously it's art. There's Picasso and then there's monet. Michaelangelo and then there's DaVinci. All completely different forms of art.

[PinkElephant]

And then there is PinkElephant with not so kikass gfx :P

But yea I am taking some right now and to get it graded may sometimes be negociable, lets say the teacher tells you to draw a man standing on the street and you draw a square, I think it is easily gradeable this way...

[Flow]

i dont draw,i cant draw,wont ever take art

[hynfaeries0]

try taking some color theory classes and design classes. and it doesn't have to be traditional art. XD

[PinkFrenzy]

I took Computer Graphics. I thought it was going to be straight-on photoshop, but we ended up using it last, and only for a few weeks <_< But the advantage was that I know basic photoshop and didn't need to learn completely by myself. The disadvantage was that there's a part 2 which focuses on photoshop, but i'm not going there next school year >_______>

[hynfaeries0]

oh man, that sucks.

hmmm... I wonder if I should take a computer graphics class.

[.R-M]

I took art, but then i was ill off skl for 2 weeks and i got thrown out of my class, even though i was one of the best in the whole year :( i was gutted

[Buffet]

Well, I am currently undergoing a short and basic 3D modelling and animation with Maya course. That's the closest thing to "art classes" for me I guess. Had art classes in school when I was younger though. ;)

[aspect]

Haha, I've been drawing for 6 years from a private art tutor :P

[Oraski]

Right now I'm taking computer graphics at school which is sweet. We finished doing this awsome project were we would find a photo of a person [black and white or color], and then trace over the picture on a new layer using differnet brushes and sizes. myn came out awsome so I should post it some time.

[iCry]

Gee, in our school its available free of charge, im forced to do so anyway :P I am an Art Club Leader too :P I don't know whats coming into the teacher's mind to choose me anyway :P
