I know art is the most important, haha.

But other than that are there certain subjects that they look at more closely? I was thinking they may look at anatomy if you’re going to be doing a lot of art regarding the human figure, and maybe history since art colleges require you to take an art history class (right?). Is math important? Or foreign language?

Thank you!

Well for an art history major, a foriegn language is importantand required for graduate school, but I’m not sure about an art major. I’ve looked through my school catalog nd at the required courses for an art major and math isn’t one of the classes required for the degree except for the general education requirements. At my school art majors are requred to take at least 4 or 5 art history classes. There is also a specific class for drawing the human body and also an intermediate class for that as well. Leonardo and some famous artisits actually got permission to cut up catavers in order to know how the human body works and how it looks like from the inside, so an anatomy class wouldn’t hurt.

I am a musician who wants to major in music theory. All the conservatories ask for talent performers, which I am not. I am a good composer and would love to have a career in theory (like a teacher). Of the art colleges I have looked at, some lack the music oreintated edge conservatories have.
By art college, I mean liberal art college.

Try an education school that also has a strong music program. I know that finding out which schools have strong music programs can be difficult, but peruse their sites, and, even if you don’t know the band director at your school very well, ask him or her about it, or just ask some other people in your school who are involved in the music department and who might be thinking about majoring in music. I don’t know what area of the country you’re from, but Miami University in Ohio is good, as well as Wright State. If you’re really good, consider looking in Texas or at the University of Michigan. There’s always Bowling Green or Ohio University as well.
