Sculpture Foundation: 3-D Design I
[ ca ] Students interested in enrolling should place themselves on the waitlist for this course. Studio Art classes are direct to waitlist with an enrollment limit of zero so that Studio Art majors and minors can be given enrollment priority. Students planning to major or minor in Studio Art should place themselves on the waitlist and then write to finearts@brandeis.edu about their intention to declare. This class is also great for newer students interested in taking a studio art course, so we will also set aside spaces for first and second year students. Non-Studio Arts students will be enrolled off the waitlist based on availability. Enrollment in this class will begin on November 19 , so waitlisted students should check their email regularly. (Do not contact the instructor about enrollment in this course; only write to finearts@brandeis.edu.) |
