I'm an incoming student at UCSD's Sixth College and I need to pick some Art Making GEs. Which ones are known to be easier or more manageable in terms of workload and difficulty?
While the "easiest" classes can vary from semester to semester and often depends on the professor teaching the course, some art-making General Education (GE) classes at UCSD's Sixth College that students often find relatively manageable are:
- VIS 20: Introduction to Art in Europe and America: This course provides a broad overview of art history in the West, which could provide a solid foundation if you have not had much exposure to art in the past.
- TDAC 1: Introduction to Acting: You will learn basic acting techniques and principles in this class, which can be a good option if you're interested in performance arts.
- VIS 60: Introduction to Digital Photography: This course introduces you to different photography techniques and media.
Remember, "easy" can be subjective. What one student finds easy, another might find challenging. It's also worth noting that even the easier art classes will still demand a good amount of time, effort, and creativity. So, make sure to choose a course that not only seems manageable but also aligns with your interests, as you're likely to perform better and enjoy the class more. It's also a good idea to check past syllabi (if available), chat with upperclassmen from Sixth College, or speak with academic advisors to get further insights into potential coursework in these classes.
