What are required courses at the School of Visual Arts in New York?

Halie S asked:

I know that some schools require classes that are not involved with your major, for instance, at Pacific Northwest College of Art they require a Computer class regardless of what you are studying. My intended major is Photography.

what liberal arts schools have good visual arts programs?

Mike asked:

i want to major in art, but am unsure of where to go. my parents would much prefer that i go to a liberal arts school. I for the most part agree with them, since art schools seem kinda pricey, and from what i’ve heard don’t teach much more than a good art department at a liberal arts college would.

azneyes333 asked:

hspva stands for High School for Performing and Visual Arts.
since i kno someone who went there (and i am actually considered better than her compared to her when she was my age), i thought that i could probably make it. but, i hav to be sure (just in case). i already looked at the website and i know that i could make it in on acedemics and stuff. im just worried about the artistic skill. if you know anything about it or go to hspva, then can you please tell me?

Why does visual art stress the importance of training so much?

kdfjj K asked:

I mean in terms of professional artists. Nearly every one of the well-known artists have been formally educated in art, and self-taught artists even today appear to be almost shunned.

The only reason this sticks out is because it’s nothing like that in similar fields…? I mean, people are acclaimed as musical geniuses without having ever stepped foot in a conservatory. People like Tolstoy and Dickens aren’t naturally expected to have studied Literature at an education institute. So why does art school almost seem like an indisputable requirement for visual artists?
