Hey folks, I'm majoring in a STEM field but my college requires a Fine Arts class. Any suggestions for the easiest one that I can take?
Sure, it's understandable that you might want an "easier" Fine Arts course, especially if you're a STEM major with a rigorous course load. However, the difficulty of Fine Arts classes often depends on your personal interests and skills. Here are a few suggestions that might work well for you:
1. Art History or Music History: These classes are less hands-on, but involve studying the history and theory of art or music. If you enjoy history or have an interest in the evolution of artistic or musical styles, these classes could be intriguing yet manageable. For some, this might be easier than a performance or drawing class.
2. Intro to Photography: A beginner's photography class may be manageable for you, particularly if it's a digital photography course. This is especially true if you have some comfort with technology and enjoy expressing yourself visually.
3. Intro to Film Studies: This is another class that's often research and theory-based, as opposed to hands-on. You watch and analyze films, focusing on elements like cinematography, storytelling, and underlying themes.
Remember that ease or difficulty can vary widely depending on the specific coursework, professor, and your own abilities and interests. Many professors have differing expectations, even within similar courses. Therefore, it's worth cross-referencing your potential choices with course reviews online and getting advice from older students at your college. And, of course, ensure that the course you choose fulfills your required Fine Arts credit. Good luck!
