[QUOTE="kkoie, post: 974449, member: 1160"] I would suggest going through the class catalogue, and picking a few art classes you like. Find out who the professors are, and go talk to them individually. That way you can find out which prof is willing to work with you, and which ones are going to come off as snooty goofballs who will hinder more than help. Or, you might even get suggestions from them on what would be the right class for you to take. If you are unsure what classes to pick, my suggestion would be a low or entry level drawing class. You can't get anymore basic than that, when it comes to art. Just keep in mind, that as a class, they are forced to give grades. So you will need to show signs of improvement in the class, as well as some art skill (both in your drawing skill and your creativity). I'm not saying this to discourage you, just as an fyi. If you really are interested in art, you don't really need a class. An alternate to improving your art skills is to grab a pad of paper, grab a few objects around the house (basic shapes are the best, like fruit, boxes, paper bags, etc etc), arange them on the dinner table, and start sketching.
